1st generation of NUC to have Intel® Quick Sync Technology for excellent media transcoding efficiency. Ideal for Jellyfin Media Server which relies more on CPU performance (vs GPU performance) for encoding and transcoding media files for streaming. The i5-7260U is a 7th gen Intel Core i5 processor, offering better performance compared to the Celeron J3455 in the NUC6CAYH, translating to smoother playback, especially for high-resolution media or when transcoding for multiple users simultaneously. 8GB RAM should be sufficient for a basic Jellyfin media server setup. Monitor RAM usage and adjust if needed, but for basic streaming, 8GB should be adequate.
