  If your use case benefited from Quicksync then Intel was a clear choice.

    Older Intel CPUs are the only ones that can play 4K BluRays on the player itself and not just ripping to a drive. Very niche use case but that is one I can think of.

      They can’t even do that anymore. sgx had a bunch of vulnerabilities and as a result, that service has been disabled.

  Idle power is the only thing they are good at, but for a homeserver a used older cpu is good enough.

    Was that even true for comparable CPU’s? I feel this was only for their N100’s etc.

      Nah all the am4 cpus have abysmal idle power, the am5 got a little better as far as i know but the infinity fabric was a nightmare for the idle power.

        Well I concede, I guess there was one metric they were better at. Doing absolutely nothing.

        My AM4 box draws 0 watts on idle. I turn it off when I don’t use it

        What about the monolithic socs? Idle power on my 5825u is better than my i5-1135g7. My i7-8650u is in between.
