How transcoding on this centriq compares to FPGA transcoders cost-wise?
Can you put your testset images on github?

High end FPGAs cost an arm and a leg, so I find it hard to believe they would be cost effective, though Intel seems to claim otherwise.
To begin with, nobody even bothered yet to make an optimised HDL design for this purposes.
This is unlike for all kinds of media transcoders which are the bread and butter of the SoC industry. An image transcoding asic you find in cellphone SoC these days can easily max the I/O ceiling, which means they can transcode faster than the SoC's memory interface can work.
Adding to that, our fpga boards are also programmed to do very high quality Lanzo scaling with gamma correction and a sharpening algo by default. Compression settings are on the quality side
