I am looking to build a dedicated Server PC that will perform multiple functions on the Unraid Platform ( I have a 4U Rosewill 15-Bay chassis)
From everything that i have read Intel CPU's are better when it comes to Transcoding quality for Jellyfin. I was hopping to get the 15th gen intel CPU (Intel Core Ultra 7 265K 3.9 GHz 20-Core Processor)
But with the new 15th gen arrow lake CPU's being a letdown I am wondering if it is better to go with a more powerful AMD CPU and combine it with a dedicated GPU (Intel B580).
The need for extra cpu cores is for running Unraid VM's like: Various Debian and Windows VM's, Jellyfin, Plex, Bitwarden, OpenVPN, AdGuard, Wireguard, Active Directory.
I will have a dedicated GPU regardless but, will an intel CPU be better than having a more powerful amd CPU with a GPU to handle the transcoding needing?
