Intel Core Ultra Series 1 (Meteor Lake) mini PCs

Meteor Lake, launched in December 2023, is Intel's first chiplet-based mobile design and the first Intel iGPU generation in mini PCs with hardware AV1 encode. It also adds an NPU; on Core Ultra systems Frigate recommends running object detection on the NPU and leaving the GPU for other enrichments. Examples include ASUS's NUC 14 Pro and GMKtec's K9. Memory is DDR5 SO-DIMM on some designs and soldered LPDDR5X on others, so check whether the RAM can be upgraded. Jellyfin notes that this generation's encoder only supports low-power (LP) mode, which current Jellyfin builds handle.
