Single vs multi-core performance in transcoding

[Deleted User]

for the best transcoding experience you need a capable GPU, CPU's are used for computation and are not really the best at graphics

see https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...-selection

and https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...celeration

in my own opinion, it would be a lateral movement trying to upgrade a CPU to make transcoding better
