I was so surprised by the 1080p HEVC performance that I manually transcoded a file with ffmpeg and sure enough, it's blazing fast. My i5 8400 transcoded the file (1080p h264_qsv -> 1080p hevc_qsv) at 3x and the Ultra 7 155H at 23x

Hardware:
- MB+CPU: SuperMicro M11SDV-4CT-LN4F + Embedded AMD EPYC
- RAM: 32GB Samsung DDR4 SRAM @2400 MT/s
- PCI-E: PCI Express 3.0 x16
- GPU: Sparkle Intel Arc A310 ECO
- BIOS: updated to latest from SuperMicro (v1..5), UEFI=on, SecureBoot=on,CSM=off,Above 4G Decoding=on.
OS: Ubuntu Server 24.04 with HWE kernel, Intel drivers from PPA repo. I could not get BAR2 to increase to 4GB so that is stuck at the minimum of 256MB.
Updated comment after an OS re-install with UEFI and driver tuning.
