Huh?
A Ryzen can easily do real time transcoding. So why can't we do a price/performance comparison? A low end Ryzen that can easily do 4K 60 fps transcoding in real time costs $300 (with 24 gigs of DDR5 and 500 gig NVMe) and offers many times the overall performance of an N100 / N150 / N200. One can go even cheaper on a Ryzen, but that's just an example from Amazon.
Would some people pay twice as much for a computer many times faster, with more memory and more storage, and that can do software transcoding in real time? Sure.
