Media mini PC's, Plex. (Intel/AMD)

Operating Systems & Open Source Linux
1

Tested PCs Plex HTPC, web playback

AMD
5600U ddr4 3200
5700u ddr4 3200

Intel
N95 DDR4
N100 DDR5
J3125 DDR4

Linux Performance (fedora 38, Suse 15.5) boot time from off to in plex is insanely fast. Load time for videos is also somehow faster
Amds performance is Great on linux, Both run 4k 10bit just fine.
Intels are terrible

Windows Performance (Win11 and TIny11)
AMD Performance is Great, both run 4k 10 bit.
N100 4k works ok
n95 runs 1080 well, 4k gets a little jumpy at full bitrate
j3125 runs 1080 ok

I am sick of the TV sticks and shields having poor performance when mini pcs are so much more powerful
