The page on AMD's website says 65W TDP so much the same as any other desktop CPU. Might be a bit much for HTPC depending on cooling? I dunno
I'm interested in this for my TrueNAS server to offload Plex transcoding. I'm about due for an upgrade, the current hardware is about 10 years old.
From my understanding, transcode quality is a concern. I've unfortunately read AMD's implementation just isn't very good. That one is better off going Intel particularly from the last few years.
Jellyfin's docs specifically talk about the issue.
Intel's transcoding is also faster in the same generation.
Been debating which way to go for my next rebuild as I'm over due myself.
I mostly transcode overnight using tdarr to a format that's compatible with most of my devices, but for on-the-fly it's nice to have a performant hardware option. I was really hoping to get away from Intel for the next build though
