From a Kodi perspective, it's drastically inferior to a Haswell-based Celeron (both CPU/GPU). yeah, CherryTrail actually has a decent GPU (same as Core M, IIRC) this time. and I'm all for simplifying product naming / making it easier to determine performance level RE: Tell me what to buy - jknight2014 - 2015-04-19 (2015-04-17, 16:30)Matt Devo Wrote:(2015-04-15, 19:54)jknight2014 Wrote:(2015-01-20, 18:46)Matt Devo Wrote: why would you pay that much for a barebones BayTrail Atom when a ChromeBox or a similar Haswell Celeron-based box is cheaper? The j1900 has twice the L1 and L2 cache, its an actual 4 core, SSE4. It uses the Intel HD graphics at 688mhz. By your logic a i7 is what everyone should buy. Mine handles the heaviest themes, hardest videos, and all while running Sonarr, Coucpotato, sabnzbd, and Xeoma running 4 security cameras, 2 VMs, Web server, etc. It also serves all my media through the house.
