Isn't the big difference between the N2820 (Bay Trail Celeron) and the 2955U (Haswell Celeron) that the Bay Trails support 3D MVC whereas the Haswell Celerons don't?
AIUI 3D MVC decode functionality was limited to Core i3 and above Haswells, with Celerons and Pentium Core-based devices (Haswell etc.) not supporting it? I'm happy to be proved wrong - but ISTR that 3D decode was one of the platform differentiators to drive people to Core-i3 etc.
I totally agree that there is zero point switching from a Haswell Celeron to a Bay Trail Celeron unless you want to use the new 3D MVC decode that has appeared in Windows Kodi recently. However given that this is a 3D thread that may well be the reason?

HDMKV, you are the man! Thank you for doing all this in-depth research.
I bought a HiMedia Q5 Quad Core last year and love it. My only issue with
the unit is that it doesn't seem to support forced subtitles the way the Q5 pro
does. I guess I'll have to wait until the Q5 pro has all its bugs fixed and switch
to that.
Thank you for keeping us all informed!

I thought it was 3D MVC decode that wasn't supported not Frame Packed output. Had assumed that was possible on all the Intels.

If they get 3D MVC to work on LINUS, that would be the end of China.

Thought Fritsch said Linux MVC decoder was like $5K. Forgetting which thread I read that in. Under Linux would be ideal w/OpenELEC.
