Hello,
i have done some reading and search at different places out there in the WWW and am stuck in between different setups. First I thought the AMD E-350/450 (Zacate) would do fine for me, but there the lack of Linux support for the ATI IGP is too poor (it's so bad that AMD bought ATI instead of nVidia in the past)... then i went on to the atom series (D525), but then I have read absolutely contrary opinions about the ION2 IGP. And lastly i passed the Intel i3/Celeron corner, but got no result so far... do i need a separate graphic card, what's a realistic power consumption scenario...?
So i wanted to ask you for some hints. My requirements are:
- play 1080p movies
- do some minor shell stuff via ssh
- play a DVD or blueRay
- only optional (should not be focussed if power cons. would rise by this requ.): some recording stuff via DVB-S2/timeshift
- LINUX-only (preferably Debian with XBMC)
- low power consumption
I don't play games, so that's no criterium for me.
Now my question is, what the best components for the lowest power consumption would be. I have read about the systems of eskro, but there I have not read about the power cons and I think that it is not low since a separate graphic card is always present. Maybe some more energy-efficient sceanrios can be possible for my requ.?
So give me some hints...
Thanks
