I assume ...

You assume wrong.

So do you think the i3 nuc will be able to handle 4k? In what basis do think that?
Thanks

On the basis of reading the product specification: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/n...brief.html

Also does i3 handle x265 10 bit?
.. I don't want to buy something that will be obsolete in 3 years

Do you know of any chip that does Hardware Decoding of Hi10P? This format relies upon software decoding until the standard was published (only a couple of months ago). Now hardware manufacturers can build it into the hardware. Software decoding (up until now) means that it will be much more CPU intensive, and slow.

I'd hardly call something obsolete because it doesn't do "4K, h.265". There are plenty of alternatives that will still be in use in 3 years time including good old mpeg4, mpeg2, and h.264. You can have 4K encoded in h.264. You can have 1080p in h.265.
