So I have my current htpc crunching but am looking at a new android box to display video and crunch simultaneously. My current htpc only has built in gpu so it stops crunching when I watch video. Are there any Android boxes that will allow viewing and crunching simultaneously?

It would really depend on the processor they fit them with. I was looking at android based HTPC things recently and most of them are lacking in crunching horsepower. I am kind of hoping that the 64-bit ARM SOCs may have more desktop/media center worthy hardware.

If someone would build a box using the Intel Bay Trail-D hardware with Android that would be more than sufficient hardware to do both at the same time.
