Hey everybody!
I know there's been a lot of these questions, but I've never found an answer or proper recommendation, so lemme ask it again please.
Planning to buy a MiniPC for JF. What CPU to look for?
My plans:
- 4k@60 HDR videos/films, bitrate may be around 90mbit/s max
- 2 to 5 clients. Few of them on 4k TVs
- I know nothing about decoding/encoding/transcoding and reading about it for a couple of days didn't change anything (I'm sorry, I'm kinda dumb)
Many ppl recommend N100 which is IMO won't be enough.
Found some PCs built with i5-1235U and 12650H which I think will be more than enough and those are costy too.
Anyways, I could buy one of those, but just wanna hear someone regarding choosing CPU, simply 3 questions:
- Am I correct that N100 isn't capable according to my needs?
- Would i5-1235U or 12650H be 100% enough?
- Is there anything in between?
Any advice is appreciated!
