If AMD "floats your boat", wait a while until the Llanos comes out[1]; an 4 core APU with integrated graphics core at 65W... Of course you need to get a motherboard that support HDMI out... but for a Gentoo htpc that would be a "perfect" balance between compiling power and low power utilisation, no?
