Help with hardware choice - i5-10300H / RTX 2060 vs. Ryzen 9 6900HX / Radeon 680M

Hi folks,

I am currently in the process of choosing a nice little mini PC for my new jellyfin server (Should replace my single KODI instances).
I mostly streaming 4k, HDR, DTS content.
Furthermore I will install HA on this as well to use the HA voice assistant with LLMs.

Which of the above mentioned would fit my needs better?

i5-10300H / RTX 2060

Pro: Dedicated GPU, Intel (Seems to work better with Jellfin)
Con: Higher power consumption, DDR4

Ryzen 9 6900HX / Radeon 680M

Pro: DDR5
Con: iGPU

The Intel + Nvidia system 1000%. For Jellyfin, both Intel and Nvidia have much better transcoders. Though it sounds like the Nvidia GPU will be used for LLMs and not transcoding. Doesn't matter since the codec support for the Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU are comparable. Though the Nvidia GPU would be able to handle more tone mapping tasks for your clients that can't play HDR.
