[17] Originally scheduled to be in production as early as the middle of 2013[18] in the form of the AML8726-M8, as of April 2014[update], only one tablet (Onda V975M)[19] has been announced using a chip from the M8 family.

[15] This is common among other popular OTT set top boxes such as the Amazon Fire TV which uses a metal shell to disperse heat, much like a heatsink would.

As of that date, it was not clear if the limitation was due to hardware, firmware or software issues.

[38] Amlogic also offers SoCs targeting smart TVs and projectors, including M6L, M6C, M6D, M948, T826, T828, T866, T868, T962, T966 and T968.

[56][57] In the market for SoCs targeting Chinese tablet manufacturers and manufacturers of Android media players, TV boxes and media dongles, it faces competition primarily from Rockchip, Allwinner Technology, Actions Semiconductor, MediaTek, Intel and Realtek.

[58][59][60][61] Amlogic was reported to be fourth largest application processor supplier for Chinese tablets in 2012.

[7] For Q2 2014, Amlogic was reported to be the fifth largest supplier, after Rockchip, MediaTek, Allwinner and Actions Semiconductor.

[62] Chinese SoC suppliers that do not have cellular baseband technology are at a disadvantage compared to companies such as MediaTek that also supply the smartphone market as white-box tablet makers increasingly add phone functionality to their products.

The Linux kernel source code is freely available, and has recently (as of April 2014) been updated to support certain chips in the M8 family as well as the older MX family, with Android versions up to 4.4 (KitKat) being supported (based on Linux kernel version 3.10.x).
