I’m looking at some old Intel and Pentium CPUs that are in a NUC. Are cores and max clock speed the only things that matter? Would a Pentium be good enough to run Immich? I have a i7-4790, and the NUCs I’m looking at range from a Pentium J5005 to a i3-1115G4. I do run Docker, does that affect anything?
You’ll need a stronger CPU (or maybe multiple since you can run machine learning multiple machines) handle the load if not using a supported discrete GPU. Also for transcoding videos if you want to do that you’ll have to look at compatibility of the CPU with what it can encode/decode and what format you want to store.
That being said , it barely use CPU resources with immich 99% of the time with the exception when media is backing up to it.
