I vary between a BRIX with J1900 or 2955U. Mostly I want to stream 1080p content from a NAS. Maybe I have some SD content / streams which need to be upscaled. Are there cases where I need the 4 cores of the J1900 or is it better to have two stronger single cores and a better gpu?
Is it possible to stream Netflix or Amazon Instant Video in HD from a browser with these processors? The OS will be linux based, so bitstream of DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD is no problem, right?
2955U for sure. Netflix HD via Chrome (HTML5) works, not sure about AIV. HD audio bitstreaming should work for both under Linux
That is good to know for XBMC but I would also be interested in Steam streaming. Would the 2955U also be better for that? (I know not really XBMC related but....)
