But... you need a CPU in any machine that you would run a GPU in. And the vast majority of common HTPC choices for CPUs already have an iGPU that does 4K60 content streaming easily.

It might be cheaper to just replace the motherboard lmao (depending on what CPU you have in it). Heck it'll save you a few cents on power too since you won't be running a GPU in addition to the CPU. If the only use case is to play 4K60 video content on a screen, I'd look at a new mobo as an option too.

hmmmm, i may do that.

but in that case i'm interested in another thing, what's the cheapest Laptop cpu that can handle 4k HDR at 60hz?

(mind you i don't need the laptop resolution to be 4k, just to have an hdmi output that can do that resolution)

You know you can't just change your laptops cpu? Does not work like that.

Laptop CPU? Other than weird chips from China with a laptop chip shoved onto a desktop substrate and IHS, you can't really buy them. If you mean the whole laptop, most laptops can probably do that. You'd need to see which ones are actually available in your market (I'm in the US, the tech market for me will be very different from Budapest), and then look through the spec pages, if the OEMs are at all decent they should list the maximum external res they support.

(this is why i mentioned the screen res, what i want to really know is what is the cheapest laptop on the market that has a cpu capable of doing that AND hdmi output)
