Transcoding?

[Leifster]

Im looking for materials on comparing transcoding preformance over the generations of products (specifically, iGPUs, both Intel & AMD). Comparisons to desktop counterparts (Intel Xe, Arc & integrated Arc, or AMD SOC's and respective desktop cards) are fine, but not the focus nor is a comparison to industry giants like nVidia.

Mostly, I just want to see efficiency, accuracy, and featureset. I want to build a home server and have debated back and forth on settling for older, or springing for newer, and also looking at the number of media engines. I cannot find a good resource for this info though.

Help would be appreciated, thanks!

Is it for Plex? Because Intel iGPU's and Nvidia GPUs are suggested for Plex.

Probably, but I'm more interested in reading the data than a specific application.
