I am looking for a low power, high performance APU and motherboard for my new HTPC.


Mobo must be MINI ITX. I am open to embedded mobos.

I will accept a faster APU if that is needed for a HTPC that will be decoding region 2 blue rays.


I hate the current selection of FM2 socket AMD Mini ITX motherboards. I have looked at industrial motherboards but they are either too expensive or they dont have what I want.


Help.

I like my 5350 in my home server and I'd use it if I was building an HTPC.

I don't think you can get much more performance without higher power usage, so you're going to have to decide how low power of a device you really need.
