The hardware video decoder in the IGP is normally enough for processing, the CPU performance is only relevant for running heavier skins etc, but a couple of cores (2C/4T) is usually fine.

Anything >Intel Apollo/Kaby Lake should be okay for HDR, and for AMD the Vega based APU's are good too (if overkill on performance per watt).
