i3 verse i5 for Plex Server (alien.top)

Any idea on the difference between and i3 verse an i5 is for power draw, particularly idle power draw? Will likely run the processor 2 or 3 hours in the evening and will only be encoding and running the plex server. Don't normally look at intel cpus so if there is something else I should know or consider here please let me know.

I built a i3 Plex server with trunas scale I bought 13th gen and trunas didn't recognize the i3 properly in beginning for hardware encoding. After digging around on some forums I was able to add in the hardware id somehow and got it function properly. I took awhile for me to find the information to make it happen and there's a possibility updates to truenas have added it in.

Before hw encoding was working right CPU would hit like 80-90% utilization when transcoding after getting it to work I see 20-30% max on transcode.

I use the Intel stock cooler and the CPU rarely ever gets over 40c in an 80f household.

I wish I could tell you the wattage but I don't think truenas interface has a CPU power monitor just temps. Which at idle is 35c in my chassis
