Hello all, I recently setup jellyfin on my RPi 4 with an external HDD attached and after a few tests I decided to move on. On ebay I found a refurbished Fujitsu Mini PC with a Pentium G4560. It is way cheaper than the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q (with a G5400T) which I saw being recommended a lot.

My question is:

how does the higher TDP of the former 54 W with a base frequency of 3.50 GHz compare to the latter with a TDP of 35 W for 3.10 GHz in a real world scenario running jellyfin?

For now I will continue using my external HDD because the prices for new drives is too high for me.

i5-7200U

That is Kaby Lake and seems to support up to HEVC for decoding which might be enough for you

For a bit of future proof you might want to check out something Tiger Lake or newer since it seems like they support AV1 decoding in hardware.

Unfortunately tere doesn't seem to be a market for used Tiger Lakes yet.

Best would be below 100€. 200€ would be possible but I'd have to save a bit.
