The i3 should be over twice as fast for a max consumption of about 15 watts more. The iGPU should also be twice as fast. Under low load I'd expect at least 5 watts more since intels power management kinda sucks ass.
Also why do you have a Pentium in a Z series motherboard?
Thanks.

Hehe, components were from a crypto mining rig with 6 GPUs. I was chosing from multiple rigs/desktops and this CPU looked like the best one for server and this MBO is really well made

TDP goes from 51 to 65 W, not much of an increase. If you have it set to throttle down when not used, I don't think you'll see much of a change.
Doubling the number of cores is a big performance boost. I would certainly upgrade if you're considering 4K video, especially if you're transcoding.
I'd also read the Jellyfin article about hardware acceleration: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/
Thank you a lot
Afaik TDP isn't power consumption, it's more input to the manufacturers of the coolers and it's not calculated the same between AMD and Intel.
Yeah it's a rough number, but it can be used as a guide to estimate power consumption, max performance, and stuff like that. In this case, running an identical software stack, you can say that it would probably result in slightly increased power usage. A better CPU might mean more efficiency, but you're also running more GHz and more cores.
If you wanted hard data, you'd have to run benchmarks.
I agree but many use it as if it's actual power consumption
In my opinion it's worth because it looks like you have some loads and two extra cores might be useful
Can I hijack the thread? I have a similar offer, a friend wants to swap his i5-9400F with my i3-8100 + some beer money, worth? The reason is that he didn't know that the F series doesn't come with a GPU and has a paperweight. In my case it's just a file server on truenas with no big load... yet.
Thx!
Why not just throw in a cheap video card?
The iGPU on 8th Gen and later CPUs can do Intel QuickSync, which can handle several 4k transcodes simultaneously. It's excellent for hosting a Plex server.
