The pi 500 looks amazing and I plan to order!

I was somewhat impressed with the specs of the raspberry pi 4. It was fast enough to run a desktop client for a bit. But it started suffering when I tried to code my regular programs on it. I turned it into a server and called it a day.

Where the raspberry Pi 5 is much beefier. And I was getting rid of my aging chromebook too.

Do you reckon the 5 is powerful enough to run a media server with the possibility of transcoding on the fly?
