AMD’s new CPU hits 132fps in Fortnite without a graphics card::Also get 49fps in BG3, 119fps in CS2, and 41fps in Cyberpunk 2077 using the new AMD Ryzen 8700G, all without the need for an extra CPU cooler.

So will this be a HTPC king? Kind of skimped on the temps in the article. I assume HWU goes over it and will watch it soon.

What services use the graphics card and are fine with the low end?

The page on AMD's website says 65W TDP so much the same as any other desktop CPU. Might be a bit much for HTPC depending on cooling? I dunno

I'm interested in this for my TrueNAS server to offload Plex transcoding. I'm about due for an upgrade, the current hardware is about 10 years old.

From my understanding, transcode quality is a concern. I've unfortunately read AMD's implementation just isn't very good. That one is better off going Intel particularly from the last few years.

Jellyfin's docs specifically talk about the issue.

Intel's transcoding is also faster in the same generation.

Been debating which way to go for my next rebuild as I'm over due myself.

I mostly transcode overnight using tdarr to a format that's compatible with most of my devices, but for on-the-fly it's nice to have a performant hardware option. I was really hoping to get away from Intel for the next build though
