PROCESSOR

The type of processor we recommend strongly depends on the type/amount of content you display. Processing speed is not a tell-all for performance, as system bus speed, memory speed, and CPU instruction sets all play a major part in the performance of a CPU. Therefore, the best way to gauge processors is via benchmark tests. We recommend having a processor with a PassMark/CPU Mark score of at least 5000. If you plan to do more graphic intensive content, multiple videos on a single display, or host multiple displays from one Windows player device, you may need to get a processor with a higher score. And if it will be showing very simple content, then you could probably get away with using a processor with a lower score (though we don’t recommend that, as you’ll want to have room for growth). Below are processors that we recommend, due to their price and benchmark score (i.e. bang for the buck). Again, this recommendation is assuming average utilization of the player*. A higher scoring processor is recommended for above-average utilization. How much higher really depends on what the player will be doing. Please work with us if this is the case so that we can find something that works best for you.

 

General Recommendations

For Intel chipsets: The Intel Core i5-4460 4-Core @ 3.2GHz, it has a score of 6,647.
For AMD chipsets: The AMD FX-8350 8-Core, it has a score of 8,939.
Note: While Intel chipsets have a higher upfront cost, they are generally more energy efficient than AMD chipsets, using less wattage during operation and costing less in the long run.

 

MEMORY

 

We recommend a minimum of 2GB for generic content, that has no more than (1) video on screen at a time. 4GB for 4K content that has no more than (1) 4K video on screen at a time. More RAM is recommended for more memory intensive utilization.

* By “average utilization of the player”, we mean “displaying content representative of what the majority of our customers use”. This usually consists of 4-5 of the following items: (1) 1080p video, (1) Stacks playlist of images/videos, (1) converted PowerPoint, any number of images, iframe of a non-intensive website, and any dropzones. If you use multiple videos, 4K video, iframe a complex website that performs operations several times per second that put strain on the CPU/memory, then that would be considered “above-average utilization of the player”.
