Hello, I am trying to find some hardware for an OpenBSD multimedia computer. I plan to attach it on a HDMI TV and play youtube on it, 1080p@30fps or more. No 4K involved.
My thinking is to go for an AMD A8-6500 processor, but I am not sure if this is enough.Right now I am using and AMD Athlon II X2 B26 which drops some frames on youtube 1080p. I've read that ffmpeg, mpv and chromium do not use GPU in any way for decoding in OpenBSD. I could not afford to go for performance hardware like Intel Core I7-4770, so if you please could you make some suggestion about what you run as a minimum requirements? Am I on the right track thinking that more powerful CPUs will speed up decoding? Thank you.
