AMD E-350 or Atom/ION2

So I'm looking to build a cheap'ish low power consumption HTPC for Blu-ray and other media, but was wondering out of the 2 which is better?

i read somewhere that for htpc duties intel are better than the amd series, something to do with not being able to get clear smooth playback of certain video.

Ill try and dig out the article.

I've already ordered a E-350 but the article would be good to read since everywhere I read said they was equal but the GPU in the AMD was better

Really glad i got the Gigabyte E-350 now, I‘ll upload some photos tomorrow when its nearly complete

sorry for late reply turns out it was a post on a forum not an article, something to do with drivers and playback software.

it just stuck in my mind i had read somewhere before about them and was sure it was an article. sorry for the misinformation.

Well I know AMD doesn't usually play nice with Linux, so it might of been about that


And its fine, no harm done
