Any idea how that compares to Apple Silicon for that job? I bought the $599 MacBook Air with M1 as my plex server for this reason. Transcodes 4k HEVC and doesn’t even need a fan. Sips watts.

All Intel arc even the $99 A310 has HW accel h265 and AV1 encoding.

Apple Silicon still don't support AV1 encoding but it is good enough for simple Jellyfin server i'm using one myself

Apple's hardware encode/decode for AV1 is quite literally, shit.

there is no AV1 encode on any Apple products right now
