I’m currently using a https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc2-home-cloud-two/, which has this cpu: Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex-A15 2Ghz and Cortex-A7 Octa core CPUs.
It is obviously not enough for real time transcoding, which is ok because I do not want it. But getting subtitles out of files and other remuxing tasks are slow as well, I’d like some more power without building a full custom hptc.
Is an intel NUC worth it? Or is there any other significantly faster raspby-clone?
I used a libre-computer renegade for a while (basically a more powerful pi 3b), but recently upgraded to a used optiplex for the quicksync goodness :)
