Vu+ Duo vs DM500HD

Is it true that DM500HD CPU is dual core and Duo is not? Which one has the fastest CPU?

Is it true that DM500HD CPU is dual core and Duo is not? Which one has the fastest CPU?

Duo is a dual-core CPU and the dm500hd too.
The two boxes uses 2 different CPUs.

CpuInfo of my Duo box:

I guess that Vu+Duo have at least the same (or better) quality hardware than DM500HD (the Vu+Duo software is the best, thanks to BH team, that's for sure ).

Vu+ (all boxes) have at least 2 USB ports avaable, dm500hd needs an hardware modification (who invalidate warranty!!) to use this kind of connection...

Vu+ (all boxes) have at least 2 USB ports avaable, dm500hd needs an hardware modification (who invalidate warranty!!) to use this kind of connection...

... and we have to remember that the hardware modification to enable the usb ports was made and disclosed by Black Hole Team

 

[dibun]

I also heard that Duo's tuner is more sensitive than DM500HD. Is that true?

This is an international section so you have to speak english.

P.S. Yes it is the same CPU!
si praticamente la stessa identica CPU!

Thanks for your report. It's very useful.

Reading on the web, the Duo and dm500hd has reported with 2 different CPUs. I have learned another thing

 

[Dzoni]

For me, these two risivers simply not comparable because they are completely two different classes, the basic unit dm500hd and VU + duo is advanced product, the top!
