Transcoding anything >720p is painful.

I run ancient hardware for desktop/laptop >10yrs old apple stuff running linux. I consume media mainly via rpi4 or android.

What’s a minimum level system capable of trans-coding 4k video to x265 in at the very least real time? Is there a tiny trans-coding device out there somewhere?

Would a NUC do? How old or new to churn out 4k x265

Can I avoid hardware? Are cloud gpu’s a thing?

    Yeah that is true, I had mixed results on the quality of the video using the 7th gen ones so I usually recommend at least 8th gen but that may have improved by now.

        No problem! I actually am still using 8500k still since it was new for what it’s worth, those things are great no complaints.
