Synology DS923+ vs DS920+: AMD Ryzen vs Intel Celeron — DS920+ wins for Plex media transcoding

Regarding the Synology: The DS923+ swaps Intel’s J4125 for an AMD Ryzen R1600, which improves single-threaded performance and DSM responsiveness but loses Intel Quick Sync hardware transcoding. If Plex is your priority, the older DS920+ is actually the better choice for media.
