NUC Pentium 3700 or core i3 or i5 - cubii - 2016-06-01
Hi There,
I am looking for an new htpc and i want to have a nuc (or a comparable box)
What should it do:
Kodi
Tv (with DVB-T2 and or DVB-C USb Sticks) recording and playing
And
Steam in home streaming
(only Full HD)
I am not sure if i will use windows or linux (perhaps the drivers for the usb sticks / Tv Cards are only available under Windows, and Bluray, and Netflix etc) , but i know that there are problems with some nucs and HD Bitstreaming under windows.
So what shoud i take:
And Pentium 3700 Box or an core i3 or even i5?
Thanks for input!
Cubii

Core i is more future-proof and can hybrid-decode 10bit HEVC (Bluray 4K) since Skylake
but also more expensive and power hungry

Thanks for the answer,
but is the pentium enough for Live TV/KODI and Steam Streaming?
I dont need 4k...

Are you going to Bit streaming HD Audio (DTSHD/TRUEHD/ATMOS etc..) ?

I know its not possible under windows (the pentium version)... But i have an hd capable receiver, so i want to have it under linux at least
