Which unit to buy RN628X vs RN528X & RR4312X ?
Trying to decide between these 3 models ... does the RN528x have enough CPU /ram power for 4K Transcoding & PLEX Server? as it seems to have less RAM/CPU whereas the RR4312X /RN628X both have similar...
If you're wanting to do real-time transcoding you should go with the RN628X. It depends on various factors about the video how well it would work.
If just needing to transcode for e.g. syncing to a tablet (a Plex Pass feature) then it taking longer is not as big an issue.If you just need to stream (not transcode) then it shouldn't matter which you go with.
The RN716X has an Intel Xeon Ivy Bridge E3-1265Lv2 2.5GHz (3.5GHz Turbo) Quad Core with 16GB ECC
The RN626X and RN628X have the Intel® D-1521 Quad Core 2.4GHz Xeon Server Processor with 8GB DDR4 ECC RAM
The E3-1265Lv2 uses a 22nm manufacturing process, while the D-1521 processor is much newer and uses a 14nm process. The D-1521 will operate faster at a lower clock speed
Note that the hyphen after the D is important to avoid confusion.
The D-1500s are Intel Xeon Processor (found in RN626X):
