Hey guys,
Did any of you all see the newest Intel chip they released? 75 dollars, overclocks fairly well, competes with the lowend athlon for gaming very very well (kills it on every single gaming bench mark). Check out the review: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pent...,3849.html
Could this content for a spot in some of your HTPCs? Downsides are somewhat obvious, if you're going to OC, you might need a better cooler, and you need a z97 supported iTX mobo (for most HTPC people, anyway), which can be pricey. Personally I use an A6, but this is lookin' hot. Quick Sync goodness and all!
