Does the n95 handle 4k to 4k Plex transcodes well? Or are you talking about 4k to 1080p?
Comment on Transcoding performance on Intel NUC

something is definitely wrong with the config if its failing at a single 1080p, I did a plex server test on an intel n95 nuc (one of the lowest end cpus in their current range) and it blasted through multiple 4k HDR transcodes simultaneously.

It’s fine, it can do a few at once. I didn’t do a lot of testing since I never have to transcode these days anyway.

Okay then there’s no reason why a hyperthreaded hexacore i7-10710U should struggle unless, like you said, there’s a misconfiguration. That makes me feel better because I’m bleeding cash at the moment.

I agree something isn’t right, I have Plex on an HP Chromebook G2 with a Celeron 3865U, it’s a 1.8ghz dual core without HT, and I had it doing like 15-20 1080p streams during testing.

That’s encouraging. In Plex, what did you configure other than to set the transcoding quality and enable acceleration?

your problem might be windows.
I think everyone here might be nerd enough to be assuming everyone is running Linux.

And it’s fine if that’s the case. It’s not like I actually needed another reason to finally start ditching Windows for good but this might just be the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’m just a lazy Windows sysadmin who uses what he knows, but not if it doesn’t make sense for the application.
