I'm debating on upgrading my server from an i7 7700k to an i5 12th Gen and I'm curious if anyone else has done similar and whether or not it's worth it. I know 12th Gen and higher support more concurrent transcodes. Could I also expect faster transcodes per session? 

I'm on windows server 2022 and I'm running some hyper-v VM's and other services in addition to emby. I have a fair amount of 4k and 1080p content mostly in H264 and H265. Most 4k content is HDR, so tone mapping when transcoding is a factor. Several clients need to transcode due to either not supporting HDR, external users, etc.

Yes it is, but if you want to save money, just buy an Intel Arc GPU.
