AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme · Radeon 780M (RDNA3, 12 CU)

On a ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme, 16 GB), Jellyfin tone-mapped a 67.4 Mbps 4K HDR10 remux to 4K with subtitle burn-in at 76 fps, and a 41.5 Mbps 4K HDR Blu-ray at about 110 fps. Only those two clips were timed.

The author tested a ROG Ally to stand in for 7840U-class AMD mini PCs. Only two clips were timed, both 4K-to-4K with tone mapping and subtitle burn-in.

A dash means the source did not count that kind of stream. Single-stream speeds are fps for one file, not a guess at how many clients fit.

Notes from the source

The author used the Ally to approximate 7840U mini PCs: 12 CU RDNA3, no CPU or GPU bottleneck in this short test. Acceleration path is the AMD media engine; the post does not print the Jellyfin dropdown name, so this row is filed under VA-API as the usual Linux/AMD method. Treat the method as the author's AMD iGPU run, not a confirmed AMF-vs-VAAPI bakeoff.

About 25 W with the CPU held at 3.2 GHz (turbo off) and the GPU between 0.8 and 1.6 GHz. The author called this a quick test, not a full wall-power log.
