Choose between Kaby Lake HD 630 and Skylake HD 530 based on your needs.
You're comparing two budget-friendly Intel i5 processors for a small server. Both are similarly priced and share comparable base performance. The main differences lie in their architecture and specific features—like GPU encoding capabilities, which you're curious about. While the 7400 generally offers better overall performance and more advanced features than the i5-6500t, the difference in GPU encoding isn't significant enough to impact day-to-day usage much. Focus on your workload needs rather than minor specs when choosing between them.
It's just the 7400 chip, and I checked my notes beforehand—it was something I considered. I'm weighing whether a mini-PC or a full PC is more suitable, sorry I didn't mention it earlier to prevent any mix-up!
