1135G7 vs 5800U

My server is running an 1135G7 (NUC NUC11TNKi5) with 16GB DDR4 2400, a 256GB SATA Windows drive and a 4TB P3 NVME storage drive. Notebookcheck puts the 5800U almost twice as fast in some benchmarks. Assuming I can swap in some spare RAM and sell the NUC for $200, is the Ace AMR5 5800U a worthwhile upgrade at $260? I don't plan on transcoding, but during sweeps I might have a half dozen or more recordings waiting their turn at comskip. How much faster should comskip be for 1080p on the Ryzen (the Core i5 is roughly one minute of comskip for every ten minutes of recording)?

Jumped on the Ace and will compare. I was mostly worried about VCE being slower than Quicksync (or unsupported), but if my research is right, comskip support for both is experimental and unreliable.
