So I finally decided I want to get rid of my AMD hardware, I am sick of a multi-OS ecosystem and I want to go all Linux for HTPCs
As part of my upgrade strategy I want to make sure I have the power to play 1080p via CPU as a backup plan.
I want to go with a 1037U mobo, and by my math it should have enough CPU power to decode 1080p in software.
But my math has been wrong before so I have to ask- has anyone successfully decoded a Blu Ray-level 1080p file on a Celeron 1037U with GPU acceleration turned off?
Thank you in advance for any responses.
