> There is absolutely zero reason to adopt Intel CPUs

I’d live to ditch Intel, but quicksync is just so good for video transcoding. 10 or 20 high bitrate video streams can be attacked without any noticeable load on the system. Its excessive from what I need, but it’s just so good. Maybe I’m too easily impressed.




AMD and Nvidia's encoding engines can handle more load, do it in lower latency, and also be higher quality in less bits. The last time Intel impressed me with Quicksync was in the Haswell days.


I’d far prefer to user onboard graphics, and AMD is ahead as you describe, more so than I’d appreciated. I am impressed with the UHD630, but AMD beats it easily. https://www.tomshardware.com/amp/features/amd-vs-intel-integ...
