The price of Intel NUC Kit NUC7i3BNH comes down a bit, good for those wants to build a HTPC that can drive 4K TV @ 60fps.
Thanks to Mr ClipIt for the original 20% off Selected Stores at eBay Deal Post, and remember to use cashback.
I'd be surprised. by dual core g3258 @ 3.8 Ghz can't but maybe im doing it wrong.
Not the CPU itself, but the onboard graphics chip does the decoding.
The NUC should be able to do it comfortably, The last few series of Intel CPU's have full hardware support for decoding h.265.
Search around your local seller groups for these, apparently they're hard to sell. I bought one with a i7 7500u and 16gb sodimms (only a month old) for $450. I use it for a plex client.
That's a fair bit of cash for a Plex client isn't it ? I'm judging a ROKU4 for about $100 and it's outstanding, great UI as well
It is, I just want to make the most of my 4K TV and for when plex can get hardware decoding (not holding my breath on that though). This is connected to a 32TB synology nas, when I do things I do overkill haha.
Quite a deal.
There is no NUC with an i7-7500u
The i7 series 7 NUCs with an i7-7567U cost about $700 without memory or anything.
Unless you bought an MSI version of a NUC?
Bought the gigabyte BRIX model. GB-BKi7HA-7500- Unfortunately the one without thunderbolt though. The guy bought the ram separately and included it. I threw in a spare intel 120gb ssd that was lying around.
Local seller groups?
Sorry, Facebook buy and sell groups - Should be a few ones for your local area if you aren't too remote.
I bought one of these to build a low end PC for someone - very well engineered. The CPU is fast enough for Facebook and stuff like that. $370's a good price too, less than what I paid. Just remember you need to buy a DDR4 SO-DIMM, and the drive can be an M2 SSD or regular 2.5" drive. It has wifi and bluetooth built in, brilliant (I believe it also has an infrared port built in, I didn't try to set it up).
Can the i3 really handle h.265 decompression of 2160p content @60fps?
