Hello folks. I rarely ever delve into the world of low and ultra low power desktop processors.
I am wanting to replace my old Xeon E5-1620v1 with something more modern and significantly lower in power consumption. My nas runs 24-7 an only powers streaming to maybe one or two people at time using Plex.
I was looking for a desktop class processor that is very low in wattage that can fit on a standard mITX board of choice.
I am aware of ATOM processors but didn't Intel discontinue th line? I use FreeNAS and have 32 GB of DDR3-1333 ECC ram on hand so a slightly older chip that supports ecc and ddr3 is ok. If I have to go the ddr4 route I will but given I have 32gb of perfectly healthy ecc I would prefer to maintain it's use for quite some time.
Any one know a lot about options? I know Intel has been very good about low power use chips with suprising performance given the wattage.
Thanks .
