Hello everybody,
first i had kodi 19.4 64bit on a htpc with intel N4100 CPU. Since the 4K videos were slightly jerky, but still watchable, I preferred to replace it with a htpc with amd A10-7700k CPU. the absurd thing is that with this CPU the videos are literally jerky, half a second of a shot, unwatchable. From userbenchmark the A10-7700K should be at least 40% more powerful than the N4100. (see the bench between the 2 cpus).
But the results with Kodi are drastically worse, can you tell me why? maybe I omitted to configure some settings in the kodi settings in the new htpc.
HTPC1 (acceptable)
- Motherboard with cpu onboard
- N4100 CPU
- 4GB DDR3 RAM
- 64GB mSata soldered storage
- Library streaming via SMB (local network)
HTPC2 (unwatchable)
- amd A10-7700K CPU (three times as much GHz)
- 8GB DDR3 RAM (twice as much as the first)
- 500GB SanDisk Pro Sata6 SSD (much faster then chinese soldered msata)
- Same SMB library, same lan (i unplugged the first pc and connected it to this one.)
Windows 10 pro 64bit is literally faster and more responsive on htpc2. So the performance shows. Boot time, browse time, apps performance are clearly better, But when I use Kodi, the htpc2 has a terrible time playing the files in 4K, never seen such slow shots.
thanks in advance.
