the discussion on idle power mobo and cpu which is lowest for httpc and file server.

[Fulki]

I want the lowest idle power consuming option. I don't think there's something extra demanding than H264 interlaced, but the machine should support and control the file serving at disk bottlenecked power as well - it must not be partial by CPU lack of control.
that’s why I don't now go ahead and purchase the cheaper than BTW is because I am not certain it can control Gbit Ethernet and numerous disks include standard spindle ones at maximum speed.
The second thing I am bearing in mind are the reported consumptions of the two a great deal additional CPU powerful solutions. Theoretically the differentiation at idle is less than 20W. guys please share your opinions. Thanks.

E-350 machine is not be fast enough to make you pleased imo, but it is the lowest idler of the 3 you listed, I think i3 has fine processor control and watt but the gpu is missing compared to llano
pretty definite anandtech or toms hardware had a appraisal comparing i3 beside llano (keep in mind reading it) in my opinion i'd get the llano out of the 3 , just cause it's the mainly well rounded out of the 3 .options

[Himalayan]

For my opnion, I am pretty positive on ION is not listed of the question. I be concerned even about E-350 so no way I am taking somewhat even worse than E-350 . The trouble is that AT analysis of llano HTPC action was very missing. User kept saying "I had problems..." but unsuccessful to complicated every time. In the end I was enormously confused about it playing everything politely.
And yes, the E-350 is only measured because it uses exceptionally low power. I just doubt if it's enough. Judging from other forum posts I will not be content with menu representation rate in Media Portal and alike stuff that isn't handled harshly by GPU.

[Battista]

perhaps in Flash, but directly video it require very small processing control to set up interlacing to a video stream that is progressive in unique And a local interlaced stream requires almost nothing to output. But if the OP was talking about H264 interlaced 1080 for Flash then it is a is a different story.

[Ramona19]

Are you by means of a out dated display not competent of taking a 1080P input? What will be the display make and model? Why the require for 1080 interlaced output?

[Munishi3]

I don't have required for 1080i output. AFAIK the Radeons aren't even able of taking benefit of this. They re interlace and then de interlace in the digital output chips / RAMDAC . If Radeons wouldn't de interlace when o/p was put to 1080i, I wouldn't require changing the platform because 790GX would be dominant enough.What I DO have is MPEG2 1080i input and H264 1080i input, both of which I want to de interlace for the TV.Flash is of no attention. The arrangement to crack is Transport Stream (.ts), consist either MPEG2 or H264 video.

[Gimbya]

It think you're going down the correct trail given your requirements. Since you affirmed you want more presentation than your 3GHz Athlon II, an E-350 won't cut it. Llano does have control gating for the cores, so its idle control should still be extremely good despite its higher TDP. I'd advise neglect anything Atom-based - until you're going to sub-notebook form part I think it's an awful tradeoff.

SPCR is the foundation I used when I build my low-power HTPC. It was a 2 years ago, but I went with an Abit AN-M2 motherboard with a AMD BE-2300 CPU. I use Crystal CPUID to lower the voltage to .8v and the multiplier to 4x at idle. I'm not positive what the CPU unaccompanied uses, but my whole HTPC pulls about 40W from the wall according to my Kill-A-Watt. While those exact choices might not be valid to you, the procedure I used power. I purposely choose a main board that permissible short voltage at idle. The meaning of that a dissimilar main board which is lacking the similar undervolting potential. With the correct same CPU would've used extra wattage at idle.

[Cain]

Hey go with Llano, E-350, or E-450. E-350 at supply speeds does have a quantity of presentation deficiencies, but over clocking as even slightly help ease the bottleneck very much. You could perhaps push an additional 200MHz or so out of it lacking raising the power utilization considerably. Choose E-350 if you want highest power reserves but if you actually want amazing that fun, go llano! I have an i3 and I just using it for gaming.

[Quasim]

The merely problem I can foresee on using E-350 is the need of processing power. Especially if you are going to play numerous types of video formats which is including RealVideo, Quicktime etc. as several video playback software and plugin does not use fully hardware speeding up due to either does not make the most of GPU stepping up does not know GPU rushing or just GPU driver bugs.

[Pamina]

You have the similar troubles as I do any way , the variation among 2100T, 2100 plain and 2105 is in that that each one has a totally dissimilar graphics core. 2100T has HD1000, 2100 plain has HD2000 and 2105 has HD3000. There is a possibility that 2100T will not have enough graphics horsepower to decode video in hardware. Evan if that should be the container; it will have enough to do it in processor .
I am too paying attention how much your system will burn. Its depend on the what kind of PSU is in there. I just buy a TT constituent Q for E-350 and I believe the 200W PSU in there is a serious overkill Reviews tip out that brazos on that PSU will burn 40W+ just since of PSU incompetence.
