Hello,

I would like to ask you for your opinion about suitable CPU for TV Server and MP client.

Some data as input would be as follow:
TV Server

4 DBV C/C2 cards + 1 CAM module for live TV or recording
1x SSD disk for Win 10 only
up to 4x HDs (~ 2TBs) for data
up to 3 fix MP clients (1 in living room, 1 in bedroom, 1 in kinder room)
up to 2 mobile clients (Android or iPhone)
LAN connectivity between TV Server and MP clients
TV Server available 24/7 hours with WOL
Windows 10 x64
2. MP client

1x SSD disk for Win 10 only
Video: HDMI output with Full HD video support
Audio: Dolby Home Theater (analogue output)
LAN connectivity to TV Server
Windows 10 x64

What would be optimal CPU PassMark value for CPU (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php) for:
TV Server
MP client?
Is it better CPU with 4 cores instead of 2 cores with same CPU PassMark value?

Is it better 2 core CPU for MP client and 4 core CPU for TV server?

Aditional questions?
What is strategy for CPU selection for MP client and TV server?
What is strategy for video card for Full HD video - do I need strong video card in TV Server or in client to play Full HD?
Would you recommend to use only LAN between TV Server and MP clients or Wifi should be ok as well and how fast the Wifi should be?
Would you recommend to use NAS software on TV Server as well or would you recommend dedicated NAS?
Which NAS software would you recommend?

Thanks in advance for your opinions.
