From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

With no graphics card specific compilation to the ffmpeg, which among intel or AMD is better for executing

ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx265 -crf 26 -preset fast -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

Would tight integration between amd cpu + gpu help in this case?

Fyi. Currently i am using intel with cpu only mode for this and its pretty slow.

If you want to use hardware acceleration from the Intel iGPU, you'd want to do something like:

ffmpeg -i input -hwaccel qsv -hwaccel_output_format qsv -c:v h265_qsv -crf 26 -preset fast -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

Intel tends to be much higher quality for hardware accelerated encoding. If you're doing pure CPU encoding using libx265, then AMD tends to have more/better cores so they can go a bit faster at the same price level.

If you're using hardware acceleration for video specifically, Intel is better.
