Is Plex doing any transcoding? That 6w peak is Pi Zero territory! Wow.
Hardware transcoding is highly efficient. The downside is sometimes it introduces artifacting in low resolution live TV.
With hardware support enabled it can live transcode four 1080p streams, which my old NUC (5th Gen i3) could also do. The GPU on the NUC could not handle 4k, so it would fall back to using the CPU which would not keep up with a live stream.
The N100 can transcode one 4k HDR with Atmos 7.1 audio and stream in real time. It was just a test, there was a bit of a stutter as it settled in, but I think that might be due to the drive enclosure being connected via USB, so it was storage bandwidth rather than CPU/GPU. The USB ports on the computer are 3.2 gen 2, but the enclosure is only 3.0 at 5Gb/s.
With Intel QSV enabled it should be able to transcode like 4-6 1080p streams IIRC. Quicksync is very impressive hardware acceleration.
It’s a 6W TDP CPU, but not 6W for power consumption.
At full tilt it’ll be about 25-30W, but typically it’s around 10W for me.
Ah, that makes a lot more sense.
Was wondering what magic was happening to get 6w peak.
Still, 30w peak is pretty nice, especially if you're idling at 10w.
