Intel N100
Another Jellyfin owner, on an N100 with 16 GB single-channel RAM and a 512 GB SSD, transcoded one 60 Mbps 4K HDR10 movie to 1080p SDR at about 15 Mbps and about 78 fps. 4K HDR to 4K SDR was about 35 fps, and Dolby Vision to 4K SDR dropped to about 28 fps. 2 other reports on this page.

Intel Arc A310
A Sparkle Arc A310 owner said Plex had four simultaneous 4K transcodes going and the card was not under stress. The comment does not give bitrate, HDR, or tone mapping. 3 other reports on this page.

Intel Arc A380
A Plex stress-test post reports 24 simultaneous transcodes of 4K HDR at 35 Mbps down to 1080p at 10 Mbps on an Arc A380, with no hitching or buffering. The title does not say whether tone mapping was enabled. 2 other reports on this page.

Synology DS423+
On Plex 1.31.2, three clients playing the same 4K file sat near 20% CPU until one stream was forced from 4K down to 1080p. That single transcode made two of the three streams buffer. Forcing 1080p down to 720p stayed in the 20–30% CPU range and was called a good result. 2 other reports on this page.

NVIDIA GTX 1650
On Windows, a GTX 1650 (TU106) with a patched NVENC session limit handled more than ten 1080p Plex transcodes, two 4K streams with tone mapping off, and could not hold a single 4K HDR to 1080p stream with tone mapping on. 1 other report on this page.

Synology DS923+
The same 720p-to-480p Plex transcode was easy on the DS923+ even without an iGPU. The review says the harder 720p-to-240p conversion is where it fell behind the DS423+'s Quick Sync. One file at a time. 1 other report on this page.

AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme
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.

Apple M1 Pro
Jellyfin on an M1 Pro (32 GB, one media encoder) tone-mapped a 67.4 Mbps 4K HDR10 remux to 4K with subtitle burn-in at 48 fps to H.264 and 70 fps to HEVC. A 41.5 Mbps 4K HDR Blu-ray was about 70 fps (H.264) and about 90 fps (HEVC).

Apple M4 Mac mini
On a 16 GB M4 Mac mini, Jellyfin tone-mapped a 67.4 Mbps 4K HDR10 remux to 4K with subtitle burn-in at 61 fps (H.264, VideoToolbox) and 102 fps (HEVC). The same file to 1080p with burn-in was about 140 fps. A 41.5 Mbps 4K HDR Blu-ray to 4K HEVC was about 130 fps.

Intel Arc A770
The same Jellyfin stats note put an Arc A770 at about 350 fps on a tone-mapped HDR10+ AV1 file at 7.6 Mbps. One file. No simultaneous-stream test in that comment.

Intel Core i3-12100
A Jellyfin tester with an i3-12100 reported about 12 simultaneous 1080p transcodes, about 12 4K SDR to 1080p, and about 2 when the job was 4K HDR tone-mapped to 1080p SDR. Output codec in that test was H.264.

Intel Core i5-12500
An i5-12500 owner tested five simultaneous 4K Plex transcodes on UHD 770 and said they all worked. They did not try a sixth, and the comment does not state bitrate or tone mapping.

Intel Core i5-12500T
An i5-12500T owner got twelve 4K Plex streams transcoded down to 720p on UHD 770 and said the iGPU still had more left. Tone mapping is not mentioned.

Intel Core i5-12600K
A Plex user said a Core i5-12600K handles about ten 4K transcodes on its iGPU, with no separate graphics card. The comment does not say HDR, tone mapping, bitrate, or operating system.

Intel Core i5-13500H
An i5-13500H (Iris Xe, 80 EUs) handled five 4K remuxes at once in Plex with tone mapping and subtitle burn-in, down to 1080p at 8 Mbps. The commenter called it easy.

Intel Core i9-11980HK
An i9-11980HK owner reported eight 4K HDR remuxes at once in Plex, with tone mapping and subtitles, down to 1080p at 8 Mbps. They think the iGPU has the same media-encoder count as UHD 770, from the generation before it.

Intel NUC 11 (i5-1135G7)
A NUC 11 with an i5-1135G7 (Iris Xe) produced ten tone-mapped 4K Plex transcodes in one owner's testing. Bitrate and operating system are not in the comment.

Intel UHD 770
On UHD 770, the same person saw about 100 fps in Jellyfin while tone-mapping an HDR10+ AV1 file at 7.6 Mbps. They wrote it as ~(100/24) fps. The CPU model is not named.

Minisforum MS-01 + Sparkle Arc A310
Plex on a Minisforum MS-01 with a Sparkle Arc A310, tone mapping set to Hable, held five 4K HEVC streams at once: three at 40 Mbps and two browser streams around 58 Mbps, while the server was still importing the library.

NVIDIA RTX 4060
A Plex user said an RTX 4060 did 15 streams of their 15 highest files. The same comment guesses a future HEVC-encode mode might land nearer six streams, which is a prediction, not a result.

NVIDIA RTX 4090
In Jellyfin, one 67.4 Mbps 4K HDR10 remux tone-mapped to 4K at about 200 fps on an RTX 4090, and to 1080p with subtitle burn-in at about 240 fps. 1080p-to-1080p clips landed around 800–900 fps. This is a single session, not a pile of clients.

Raspberry Pi 5
Jellyfin's hardware docs say to avoid the Raspberry Pi 5 as a server. The Pi 5 has no hardware encoder, so a transcode falls back to software on the CPU. They do not publish a stream count.

Raspberry Pi CM5 + RTX 4070 Ti
Jellyfin with NVENC on a Pi CM5 plus an RTX 4070 Ti played two H.265 files at once (one 4K, one 1080p) without a reported problem. Wall power was about 100 W for one 4K stream and about 130 W for those two, dock losses included.
