Sorry, you need hardware.
If you are doing a ton of encoding, you could even get specialized hardware like amd alevo (spelling?) card which enables you to encode even AV1.
That being said, what are you doing that requires you to encode h.265 on ancient hardware?
I'm using a 2011 imac & 2010 macbook pro as my main devices. I have an rpi4 as a little media center & personal server.
2160p x265 looks great on the pi, 2160p x264 is grim. Encoding 2160p on any of my systems is pain.
Ongoing it would be nice to be able to re-encode the occasional 2160p video faster than a tenth of real time or feeling like I'm overly stressing very old hardware.
Think I may keep an eye out for a 2nd hand nuc, I like small & quiet and I didn't realize until posting this thread that cpu encoding is preferred to gpu. A nuc would also be nice for some better retro game action than the pi4.
