Intel probably spends more on office supplies than they make from homelab customers…
You would need an actual GPU, though. Massively increasing cost, power usage etc. without providing any real value in return for many use cases and AFAIK HW transcoding with Plex doesn't even work properly with with AMDs iGPUs?
The N100 can transcode 4k streams at ~20w while costing barely more than a Raspberry Pi.
I feel like my Dad saying “turn off the damn lights” now that I gotta pay the ‘light bill’ on a machine that runs 24/7 with spinning disks.
