TDP goes from 51 to 65 W, not much of an increase. If you have it set to throttle down when not used, I don’t think you’ll see much of a change.
Doubling the number of cores is a big performance boost. I would certainly upgrade if you’re considering 4K video, especially if you’re transcoding.
I’d also read the Jellyfin article about hardware acceleration: jellyfin.org/docs/…/hardware-acceleration/

Afaik TDP isn’t power consumption, it’s more input to the manufacturers of the coolers and it’s not calculated the same between AMD and Intel.

Yeah it’s a rough number, but it can be used as a guide to estimate power consumption, max performance, and stuff like that. In this case, running an identical software stack, you can say that it would probably result in slightly increased power usage. A better CPU might mean more efficiency, but you’re also running more GHz and more cores.
If you wanted hard data, you’d have to run benchmarks.

I agree but many use it as if it’s actual power consumption
