Thanks. So according to these, the amd (i7 & i5) will out perform even the server model in graphics intensive tasks. Whilst, the server model is the best choice if you're performing video decoding etc, the latter being more suitable for yourself.
In my example, where there are two concurrent tasks, xbmc renderer (graphics intensive) & eye tv decoding (cpu intensive), really either should be able to handle them. I would prefer the server model using the same logic as you have provided that the intel is at least capable of m2ts 1080p playback without the accelerated gaming functions that amd may be better suitable for.
