msloat 1 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 So on Synology which processor are the best at transcoding. is the Intel Celeron J3455 Quad-Core a good system to have to allow for transcoding and will it help in the future?

FrostByte 5052 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I wouldn't get one with that processor as it's 3 years older and the GPU is designed for HD graphics. Instead look for a NAS with a J4125 processor which has a UHD GPU and would do a lot better with vaapi and transcoding Intel® Celeron® Processor J3455 (2M Cache, up to 2.3 GHz) Product Specifications Intel® Celeron® Processor J4125 (4M Cache, up to 2.70 GHz) Product Specifications Edited February 25, 2021 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5052 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 and some benchmark tests Intel Celeron J3455 @ 1.50GHz vs Intel Celeron J4125 @ 2.00GHz [cpubenchmark.net] by PassMark Software There have been a few people on here with J4125 processors that said they are happy with it and transcoding. I have no need for transcoding so I went with the faster AMD, but it doesn't have a GPU so you wouldn't get any hardware assisted transcoding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get something that I know is going to be powerfull enough to handle and transcoding from future hd videos. Like when they finally get the ASTC 3.0 done. Not sure how much more that really is to what todays res is. Edited February 25, 2021 by msloat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe pc is better but I have heard synology can out preform a computer with the streams it can do. I am not sure.

FrostByte 5052 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 A HTPC will always be better/faster if you have a lot of transcoding, especially if it's 4K to 4K. And now that Emby is tone mapping HDR in transcodes you will want something fast if your movies won't Direct Play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
