Re: It's a fun experiment...

Media encoding was, is, and will be for some time forward remain a CPU- rather than GPU-intensive job due to the potentially-divergent process of motion estimation as well as the need for good memory throughput. So I'm looking for something that has a good CPU at a decent price, and last I checked, none of the mini-PCs on offer have an octo-core CPU, let alone one with at least decent floating-point performance needed to do media work with any proper speed.
