Lowest TDP "consumer grade" (off the shelf) CPU? (alien.top)

Hello,

What would be the lowest TDP consumer grade CPU that I could get off the shelf? I've read that recent Intel "i" series are quite efficient, but I'm wondering which3/5/7/9 series (and maybe a model?) is "the best".

I'm looking to self-host only a small amount of containers. 4k video output (or transcoding) would also be a great feat, even if nowadays I'm not using Plex that much.

Thank you

Another poster sent you an exhaustive list, but to answer your question a bit, AMD has been dominating in the performance/watt category for a while now, I'd consider a Ryzen processor. Anything made in the last few years will be more than robust for what you're describing. Hell, if you're willing to wait for delivery I bet a Raspberry Pi 5 could suffice
