Hello all!
It's my first post on this forum as I want to start my jellyfin journey, hope I am posting under correct category.
I want to buy my first NAS server with capabilities to run few VMs/docker containers. I have decided to go for AOOSTAR WTR PRO 4 Bay mini PC which will allow me to utilize both NAS and miniPC in single box.
This piece of hardware comes with two available CPUs - Intel N100 and AMD Ryzen 7 5825u.
My issue is - I know that AMD cpu is much more powerfull and I don't care so much about energy efficiency, it still has low TDP of 15W. I feel pretty comfortable with all homelab related topics except one - streaming and HW transcoding.
My research about best CPU for HW transcoding gave me one conclusion - Intel is much better at this due to quickSync. And it's the only thing which makes me even consider N100.
Is it really that bad for AMD? Will I be able to comfortably stream in 4K using AMD Ryzen 7 5825u or it needs to be Intel chip?
