Quote:OK, I got the point. What do you mean by real HSW? Is the desktop version G1820T (http://ark.intel.com/products/78956) enough to do the proper deinterlacing and scaling without the BYT limitations?
Yes. Make sure you run a kernel >= 3.18.3
Quote:However, BYT itx boards are without fan, extra low power 10-20W total power consumption, excellent CPU power for Kodi (and even for a Plex server with one or two simultaneous transcoding), and all this for very affordable price. I consider it ridicules to get an expensive i3 CPU for a HTPC when my good old Atom 330 + ION1 is still doing a great job in terms of speed and quality (and that includes livetv 1080i as well).
I have an old i386, which also has no fan ... BYT has a shitty GPU, no argumentation will help.
