Comment on Intel's stock drops 30% overnight —company sheds $39 billion in market cap | As of now, Intel's market value is a fraction of Nvidia's worth and less than half of AMD's

  AMD have anything to compete with Intel QSV

  I believe AMD VCN does the same thing. Though I haven’t looked into it. AMD chips also have pretty decent onboard video cores, so you might be able to do hardware accelerated re-encoding that way too.

  was looking at a newer Intel CPU

  Just stay away from Intel 13th and 14th gen chips. They have oxidation issues from the factory and are also over-volting themselves in software. The former is unfixable and the latter causes unfixable damage.

    Does laptop cpus have same problems? I’ve found mixed results.

      We don’t know and Intel is being incredibly mum about the entire situation.

        Which probably means a lot of corporations that have Intel inside their everyday computers may be less than enthusiastic about what they spent money on.

      Read somewhere that everything 65W TDP and up is affected. Laptop CPUs should be mostly fine then.

        OK, glad to hear this. Thank you. (Also hope it’s not another intel’s lie.)

      IIRC Intel confirmed all Gen13/14 CPUs with 65W TDP or more have the same issues K series do.

        OK, thanks for heads up.

  You want to look at VCN

  I find software reencoding/remux instead of doing it on the fly is easier for my brain to manage over alignment of the hardware stars.

  I use the onboard CPU of my ryzen 5600g for my jellyfin and nextcloud (memories app) duties and it works flawless.

  I hardly ever transcode at home. I mostly use ffmpeg on a crappy old i5 server that I use for other beataround stuff too. I tend to do that in batch mode and it’s fast enough for my purposes. That’s an approach to consider. Or you could spin up Intel VM’s as needed on Hetzner unless you’re doing a totally ridiculous amount of transcoding.

    I need on-location transcoding because my internet is garbage (~50 mbps). Sometimes my users need to transcode the show if the bit rate of the file is too high for my internet to keep up.

      Wait you’re literally serving other users from a home internet? Oh man, get a VM or some colo space or something. Or faster internet. Your internet is much faster than mine and one reason I transcode remotely is to drop the bit rate enough that I can download the transcoded version without waiting all day.

        I mean, I can stream 4K HDR if the player supports the video format, but clients don’t always jive well with whatever Radarr decided. I know I can fine tune it but everything works well enough right now and I don’t have time to change it.

        I move around too much to do colocation. A VPS/VM isn’t worth the cost to me. My server is all old parts and I don’t pay for power usage.
