ECS LIVA Core video review


Lon Seidman (who is doing so well on Youtube, congrats Lon!) takes a look at the very expensive LIVA Core, and he's pretty impressed by it.

The Broadwell Core M-5Y10c (2 core / 4 threads at 800 MHz, up to 2 GHz) is a serious step up from Bay Trail / Braswell (AKA Atom) systems. It actually offers desktop-class performance. Still, with soldered RAM and non-optimal convection the LIVA Core is not the perfect fanless HTPC we were waiting for. We're almost there, but not quite.
