Artificial Intelligence set-top box? ; Xiaomi Box 3C, on the other hand, is a lower-end version, priced at 199 yuan.　Hardware: millet box 3S and 3C?Sincerity is not enough?　Since it is an electronic product, the hardware configuration is always inextricably linked.

In terms of memory and flash storage, Xiaomi Box 3S is 2G and 8G, which is a 100% improvement over Xiaomi Box 3.　However, in order to more intuitively compare the performance of millet box and Tmall Magic Box, I simply made this chart, which looks clearer.　In fact, in March of this year at the CCBN exhibition in Beijing, Amlogic technical support vice president Pan Zhaorong clearly said that both chips can well meet the market demand for 4K products, S905X is mainly oriented to the low-end market, while the S912 is adapted to the needs of high-end product development. It is also worth mentioning that Tmall Magic Box 3 and Tmall Magic Box 3Pro support 100M wired network, that is, you can plug in the network cable, Xiaomi Box 3S and Xiaomi Box 3C in accordance with ? Self-conventional? does not support wired networks, which may cause some inconvenience. Comments:From the hardware configuration, Tmall Magic Box 3Pro is undoubtedly better than millet box 3S, and the two models of the same price are 299 yuan. Even if the Tmall Magic Box 3 and Xiaomi Box 3S compared to the price of 229 yuan is also cheap. As for millet box 3C, I can only say that more chicken ribs. Content: millet box 3S slightly better than the Tmall Magic Box 3Pro, but the TV box products, hardware configuration is important but not all, content is also a big piece. The millet box 3S release, content is also a card to play. According to millet Wang Chuan at the conference, millet box 3S content breakthrough is access to the PPTV poly sports, bringing the total amount of content 1.8 times the surge. On PPTV Gathering Sports, there are popular matches such as La Liga, La Liga, UEFA Champions League, Asian Champions League, Chinese Football Association Cup, CBA and so on. In addition Xiaomi Box 3S also introduces Tencent Video, forming a content matrix of Love Qiyi, Tencent Video, Sohu Video, Huazhou TV and PPTV. Special features:Artificial intelligence is new, but it remains to be seenFinally, a word about the ? Special features? Xiaomi Box 3S is defined by Xiaomi as the first? Artificial Intelligence set-top box? So where does artificial intelligence fit in? According to Xiaomi, the system is fully upgraded to PatchWall AI system, the change is mainly in two points: 1, in the UI using a beautiful magazine-style layout and unlimited scrolling content waterfall. 2, the first application of the ? Xiaomi Brain? (MiBrain) deep learning technology, can mark a film 80,000 tags, and at the same time be able to learn about the film reviews and short reviews, and then delineate a variety of interesting film classifications, and constantly learn the user's habits, to achieve accurate content recommendations, to achieve? The TMall Magic Box is intelligent and can be used for a variety of purposes. How well does Tmall Magic Box do in terms of intelligence? On October 12 this year, Ali Family Entertainment Strategy Conference held in Beijing, Ali Digital Entertainment released for the first time the film and television desktop 5.0. film and television desktop 5.0 user interface, big data application scenarios, innovative design to be comprehensively upgraded, will focus on highlighting the video content and each user's operating habits, viewing tastes will be provided with tailored viewing services, access to seamless scenario-based viewing services. Specifically the following features:1, waterfall streaming content that desktop, 2, scene role free switching, 3, thousands of people, and so on.　Comments:The artificial intelligence of millet box is indeed an attractive gimmick. According to my understanding, the real ? Artificial Intelligence? Not that you watch a Tom? Hanks's "Dante's Code" to recommend his "Da Vinci Code" to you, but to recommend a "Big Fish" to you. Tmall Magic Box intelligent not only stays in the content of the screening, but relying on Alibaba Group big data resources, through Youku Tudou, Gaode, Taobao, Alipay and other partners data, so as to provide users with a more appropriate service, coupled with Ali in the artificial intelligence on the layout of a long time, so look at the Tmall Magic Box film and television desktop 5.0 upgrades seem to be more worthy of expectations. Summarize:There is a saying on the network called? No comparison, no harm? In fact, any new product release, comparison evaluation is inevitable. In terms of hardware, Xiaomi Box 3S and Xiaomi Box 3C are not as good as Tmall Magic Box 3Pro and Tmall Magic Box 3, and Xiaomi Box 3S and Tmall Magic Box 3Pro are sold at the same price. As far as content is concerned, the Xiaomi Box 3S is slightly better than the Tmall Magic Box 3Pro, but not to the point of a huge gap. In terms of artificial intelligence and other special features, Xiaomi Box 3S has a new idea, but it remains to be seen, and the next step is to see if Tmall Magic Box will have any big moves.
