I'll have to reconsider my component picks for the next build. That said, I have a need for efficient h.264 and h.265 encoding/decoding, and Intel's QuickSync is designed to handle that in an efficient way. My requirements are mostly that, and efficient idling. Would be nice to have the option to game, but that represents a small percentage of 24/7 operation.

If a person's main goal is efficiency, then Apple Silicon is currently king. Of course, that's an entirely different animal.
I'm running an efficient, 12th gen Intel Core i5 on a 300W PSU.
