is this processor powerful enough to stream and play 1080p with no lag?

i don't thing so. Really for your goals streamers are using hardware card (not CPU).

The Gigabyte mini is only used for word processing and email. Could not tell you about streaming.

Yes, all in caps with three exclamation points behind it. I use this box as my primary XBMC (Kodi) appliance. I specifically run OpenELEC. We stream bluray files to it and have zero lag or stutter. This is an excellent replacement for a Boxee or similar device you've used in the past to stream 1080p sources.

Definitely. Whether its with OpenELEC or XBMC under windows, this will get the job done for you

No. It is one of the weakest processors out there. Do not buy this laptop. I deeply regret getting it.

It will work. You may be able to unlock another core if you are fortunate. I agree with N1ghtmare - if you want to game, get an FX. I use this processor in an HTPC and I unlocked a core. If you happen to not be able to unlock the 2nd core, you don't have much for a CPU.

This CPU is for a PC , Also streaming with nvidia there is no need for a great cpu but you will need a video card 680 and better

Streaming from where? That has more to do with bandwidth. However, if you mean the screen resolution, I have no complaints.

Get a PC with at least an HDMI connector and an i3 or Processor minimum and youshould be ok with these two as the rest of the hardware should be fast enough HDMI connector is required for streaming to a HDTV via HDMI cable your pc should be able to stream no problem

I don't play games but it is supposed to be average on game performance. With quad core processor, 6G RAM and a fairly good video processor you should be OK. I use for Netflix and Youtube and the download and video performance is great. No problems whatsoever.

I personally bought a tablet just so I could view Netflix and YouTube on my tablet. I'm terribly sorry for the late response but in short, yes it does. However, since it is a quadcore it specializes in 3D gaming and multitasking. Seeing as streaming is a single task, I would recommend a dual core unless you are like myself and like to have open your paper as well as iFunny :) and a browser at the same time.

Yes, that's more than enough. What type of processor and motherboard do you have?

I haven't tried it for any type of gaming, just streaming HD video and it does great. Sorry I couldn't help.

I have this processor and it runs all of my htpc needs flawlessly. This processor over clocks easily and runs cool with the noctua lh9a. While streaming 1080p the processor usage is about 30%.

I'm not sure how it would be with that particular program but I do know that it works really well for movies, video and gaming. My son and I play minecraft and skyrim on it all the time and have no lag or filching problems.I hope this can help a bit.
982941
yes. i use it as a both a home theater for movies/ tv shows in 1080p and as a gaming rig. Works like a charm. I haven't overclocked it either

That would depend upon your usage.If you just browse the web,use apps that are not cpu intensive,it should be fine.It would also depend on your ram.If you're doing video editing,or a lot of coding,it might be worthwhile to upgrade.If you need more info,just ask,and give your a rundown of your set-up.

you will need to get a 5 or better yet a 7 pentium processor. It will be great for any of the things you mentioned. I do a lot of streaming and it is great. I love Vizio my TV and dell makes the best desktop in my experience.
156291
yes you can but i would recommend something in the fx 4xxx or fx 6xxx range, but if you just need a cheap processor and not doing heavy gaming it will work just fine.

It's borderline for 1080p Youtube videos: Some play smoothly while others exhibit dropped frames every two seconds or so. CPU ultilization is never maxed out though. So it seems as though the Intel Integrated Graphics Processor isn't quite up to the task.
