Hello everyone.
I want to build a new HTPC for XMBC use. And i have a question to you all: Does the number of CPU Cores matters to XBMC video and audio decoding??
I use XBMC for video (mostly h.264 with dolby or dts) and for music.
I'm asking this because i want to decide between:
- AMD CPU A10-5700 3.4GHz SkFM2
- Intel 1155 i3 3225 3.30GHz 3MB Box
The AMD has 4 cores and the Intel has 2 cores...
The other thing is the GPU:
- AMD has the Radeon HD 7660D
- Intel has HD Graphics 4000
What do you recommend
