[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1003575, member: 76888"] i3-2105 - Great CPU for HTPC, good onboard gpu (better than i3-2100), handles 1080i Well 785G - Probably too slow for 1080i, would struggle/borderline. Intel i3-2105 vs' AMD A6-5400k AMD is cheaper cpu, motherboard will be slightly cheaper as well, faster GPU Both are great CPUs for HTPC and I recommend both. Anyways the Intel i3-2105 has been replaced with Intel i3-3225 (Although the i3-3220 is probably ok for 1080i due to the gpu upgrade, untested) Will have to change the wiki at some stage, have to wait to see how the i3-3220 goes with 1080i, I suspect it will be fine. New AMD CPUs look really good for small HTPC [url]http://ultrabooknews.com/files/2013/05/AMD-Kabin-SKUs.jpg[/url] AMD A4-5000 & AMD A6-5200, really low Wattage/Heat. I think the 785G doesn't do 1080i well (I'm sure you've tried) The Intel has better transcoding if you plan on transcoding to the Pi I wouldn't use either of the CPUs in a mini-itx for a new client, but if you did it would be the i3-2105 [/QUOTE]
