Currently I'm using an AMD E-350 with Openelec and Ace Skin. The CPU is a little slow, to navigating through my ~700 Movies is a little slow. Also the CPU can't play Hi10p @ 1080p without stuttering (Evangelion 3.0 is a good example). Hi10p @ 720p usually works fine.
So I'm thinking about upgrading. I had hoped for an AMD Kabini but apparently those are not for sale and only come with pre-build options. The Intel NUC would be reasonable, but apparently there are still a lot of issues currently. So I was thinking about getting an ITX Haswell Board and built it myself.
The cheapest Haswell I can find is the Celeron G1820T (with a TDP of only 35W). Would this CPU be strong enough already, or do I need something bigger?
