Hello,
currently I am running a Haswell Core i3 and 8 Gigs of Ram. It runs 1080p streams very good, but I will buy a 4K TV soon.
So I want to store my Media in 4k from now on. But I still want to be able to watch my media on the go or when I am at a friends house. For that it needs to be transcoded. The current i3 is not capable of that.
The new Intel Kaby Lake get Hardware encoding support, so I am thinking about buying a i7 7700k then.
It will feature full 10 Bit-HEVC Encoding and Decoding-Support. Will plex support that?
The full encoding support should drop the load a lot for the transcode? Or am I wrong?
