Intel BOXNUC5CPYH NUC PC Celeron N3050

Oh I know! Those Celerons are terrible! Just brutal, useless, and can’t handle anything at all. Look at my poor little Celeron j4005 NUC with Quick Sync enabled, desperately struggling to handle a meager 5 active HD transcodes, both video and audio, with a mix of 1080p AVC and 1080p HEVC.

Oh, wait. Three were quickly throttled, and the other two have plenty of capacity. (Spoiler: They’d also be throttled within 30 seconds, and I could have added more transcodes with ease)
