Teclast TBook 16 Power - SebasBarr - 11-18-2016
Hello everybody,
I'm just wanting to know if the TBook 16 Power will be able to run Dolphin in a pretty decent amount of FPS, like in this video with Teclast x98 Pro

Otherwise, I would require your assitance in searching another Tablet, 'cause apparently this tablet is sold out already
please.Thanks.

TBook 16 is slightly faster than Tecalst x98 Pro
but I prefer this one instead
It has IPS touch screen with built-in keyboard , gamepad . More importantly , a fan to dissipate heat
Tablet doesn't have a fan and overheat like crazy (Yeah, I also have a tablet) . When it run too hot , the processor clock will throttle to lower the temp -> Less FPS
The tablet in that video was modified , not at normal condition

Since The Tbook 16 has a faster processor , it will run hotter than the x98 Pro...
Even at its best condition (no throttle) , these devices are only able to play a few light-weight games , most games are out of the question

Well first off, isn't that Windows and not Android?
Second, I wouldn't really bank on buying a tablet chinese tablet like that in hopes for emulation. I'm not here to bash their machines, they're great for their price, hover chinese stuff like the Teclast are notorious for providing inadequate heat sinking for the CPU. In the case of tablets CPU and GPU are on a single chip that can get really hot, really fast, and throttles to prevent overheating. What you're seeing in these Youtube videos are basically demo videos to show off the hardware, with no marathon play. So 10 minutes or more down the line, that CPU could be burning, causing extreme choppiness in your emulation. Anytime you intend to on buying an Intel Atom device, its recommended that you'd be prepared to take apart your device and apply custom heat sink mods.
Last, regarding the Atom Z8750, theres some reports out there that the Z8750 is in fact, worse for emulation than the Z8700 due to the same throttling issues. The Z8750 does slightly better benchmark scores, but because it reaches it's heat cap a lot faster, its actually the Z8700 that becomes the better performer. Theres a guy with a GPD Win Z8700 and 8750 models comparing the two, and he discovered that the 8700 beats the 8750 especially in Gamecube emulation because throttling is such a hindrance to performance. It might be beneficial to take it apart and alot mod it

I wouldn't buy a tablet for Dolphin to begin with since all of them are waaaay to slow to run Dolphin decently...
