The Powkiddy RGB10 Max 3 Pro is one of the most powerful LINUX retro consoles today and is capable of running Dreamcast, PSP and N64 at a good level.
Inside this console in horizontal format that has just gone on sale, we find an Amlogic A311D2 processor, very similar in performance to the Amlogic S922X and that would be above in performance of the UNISOC T618. To highlight its RAM of 4 GB LPDDR4X and as negative points the absence of Wi-Fi and its HDMI connector that at the moment does not work, although this is a console with great potential.
The operating system used in the Powkiddy RGB10 Max 3 Pro is the Linux JELOS distribution, which makes it quite interesting thanks to the updates that we hope it will receive.
