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.

    • Hardware (GPU) encoders are worst than software encoders.
    • GPU Acceleration is good for faster encoding and free CPU to do other things. But you get bigger files at similar quality.
    • Maybe is useful for live streaming or if you really really need CPU do other things.

      Yes this is indeed what I said. but well calling gpu encoders “worse” isnt really fair, it’s all trade offs, they for sure have worse efficiency as we both said, but their speed is significantly faster usually. I would say that doesn’t make the encoder “worse” just different.
