HTPC spec

Will this be capable of playing bluray 3D files? It will be attched to a UE40D7000?

How does the Llano A6-3670K compare to the G620/HD6670? Is the 3670K capable of 3D bluray playback?

Thanks

Llano with a passive 6770

What's the reason behind buying the Llano and still buying a seperate GPU?
I thought the point of the Llano's was that you wouldn't need a seperate GPU because it has an intergrated 6550D :confused:

Oh thats what I meant. Get a Llano or buy a Pentium with a 6770

What would be more capable of 3D bluray playback? the spec in OP (but with 6770, not 6670) or the 1 below:

Thanks

The AMD A3670K will be perfectly fine with 3D Blu Ray. This review shows that A8-3850 playing 3D Blu Rays with MAX CPU useage around the 40% mark so expect a little higher with the A3670K whilst both CPU's I believe have the Radeon HD6550 IGP.

Just as an intel/nvidia option, because not every card can run 3d on every tv:
(AMD 6450 doesn't work on my Samsung PS51d550 but a nVidia GT520 does)
