AMD A4-4000

[dylandylandylan]

I'm creating a HTPC on the cheap, just as a project, and so I can finally building in the silverstone milo

 

I was just wondering if the AMD A4-4000 has enough grunt to play 1080p content flawlessly? and also play emulated games using MAME etc?

 

Or should I go up to something else in the FM2/FM2+ socket?

 

Thanks in advance guys!

that would be a negative, i believe its rival which is the celoron can, lowest id go is the a6 6400k which i can confirm runs 1080 videos(youtube and mkvs) fine, it struggles with 1440p youtube vids.

Okay, it's only $20 more expensive I believe, so I'll go down that route.

It's pretty slow, I've used one before. It will playback hd content, but emulators is a no go for the most part.

At least my amd a6-3500 had no issues with 1080p content, but i would go with the latest one you can find, i think is the 6xxx series and get an a6 if you want better graphics than an a4 without having to pay the extra for the a8 series.

Yeah, when you're a poor student, 20 bucks = eating for a few days or a new CPU. 

You know what's gonna happen
