What next gen codecs? My i5 does HEVC without breaking much of a sweat.
What resolution? 4K 2160p, 1080p or 720p? And what framerate.
My i5 NUC certainly can't handle 2160/60p HEVC...
Ya, I don't think i5 is going to handle 4k/60 HEVC when that is likely what "next gen" is going to look like for media players like Kodi in a couple of years. By the time this stuff gets common the hardware available will do hardware decoding so I see little point in over-buying a CPU today for what it may or may not do 2-3 yrs from now.
