100% agree with the last thing you said about checking latest info before buying, but...

I stand by what I said about nothing AMD makes being even close to QS. Pretty much the only two reasons to need server side transcoding at a level where CPU is still relevant is

Plex and clones.
Security cameras.

There's nothing worth mentioning that works with AMD.

My N150 is transcoding 9 4k streams from cameras 24/7 and easily handles another 1 or 2 4k streams when plex needs it. All at <10W. At this load, it almost never goes above 50% cpu consumption.

I'll definitely check current offerings if I ever need to replace my setup, but right now, AMD basically doesn't exist in this market.
