With no graphics card specific compilation to the ffmpeg, which among intel or AMD is better for executing

ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx265 -crf 26 -preset fast -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

Would tight integration between amd cpu + gpu help in this case?

Fyi. Currently i am using intel with cpu only mode for this and its pretty slow.

    Probably won’t, at least not because of the integration. Interactions between CPU and GPU are very generic, because obviously every CPU should work with every GPU. You can do optimizations in driver, but as far as I’m aware AMD does not implement any tech to make specifically their GPUs work better with their CPUs. At least not anything noteworthy.

    Graphics workloads are GPU bound. The only thing that matters is your GPU. You might be able to use the iGPU if you have one. Should already help a whole lot.

      This isn’t a graphics workload, or at least not that kind of graphics workload. The GPU is irrelevant here.
