So I need to put together a new HTPC as my current solution no longer supports my new setup.... for fun I wanted to see how my desktop Core 2 duo CPU would do when trying to play some 4K content online @ https://youtu.be/GOAEIMx39-w
It pegs the CPU to 100%. So I then tried my current HTPC (the one I need to replace) which is an HP laptop with an i5. Samething, playing that video pegs the CPU to 100%.
So what is needed to play these online 4K videos. I was hoping to grab an Intel NUC. Would one of their gen6 i7's do the job?
I guess when the specs say they support resolutions up to 4K they don't actually mean they can play a 4K video. Kind of misleading to a noob such as myself.
Thanks,
Maiyr
