Background, I used to have a AppleTV gen 1, then moved up to a full desktop with a Core 2 Duo, then went to the FireTV Sticks. I am very sensitive to UI speed and video start time/seek time so I cannot wait to rid myself of the AppleTVs and FireTV Sticks.
at least. did you read the first post in this thread?
Of course I did, and I understand you are a huge ChromeBox fan, but I was curious if you tried out any BayTrail CPUs with Kodi or you were going primarily on specs/benchmarks.
EDIT: I compared the benchmarks of the BayTrail Celeron in the ECS Liva, the Haswell Celeron of the ChromeBox and the Core2 Duo I had in my desktop. The Chromebox is statistically identical to the C2D and the Liva is 50% slower. I chose poorly.
