A few years ago I turned a pine64 rock64 SBC into a kodi box, and saw immediate performance improvement over the stock Roku chip on my TCL TV when streaming from SMB. As always “better” becomes… ehhhhh I want more. I want to stick with an SBC because of power consumption on a box that I’m going to leave running 24/7. So my question is: What’s the best price to video performance SBC out there?

One of those cheap Chinese mini PCs with an Intel N100 will give very good performance while drawing about 5 watts at idle.
