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.

7400 or 7400T? It’ll be noticeably more powerful than the 6500t. (The T variants are much more constrained in power and weaker.)

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!
