But you have to realize the purpose of what he is using the CPU for, this is not for any CPU intensive program. This is for a HTPC, which is GPU/memory first, network/HDD transfer rate next, then CPU at the end. The purpose of the HTPC is quiet/cool machines, it is very common for people buy slightly beefier CPUs for HTPCs and underclock them to create quieter/cooler results.
