The 600 has 3/10's the floating point performance. That cpu at equal clock speed has 1/2 the FP performance.
The 600 can play mpeg2 streams *if* you get the unichrome drivers working. It cannot play mpeg4 streams so if your backend has a dumb capture card with software mpeg4 compression, you'll have to transcode the mpeg4 files. I went with the 10000 because it can play mpeg2 and mpeg4 without using the unichrome drivers.
