A GPU with a high CUDA processor count is best for these renders on a PC. On a MAC it should be metal with an appropriate card.

Body: <p>I have i3-7100 CPU and 16 gigabytes of DDR4 RAM. I know it's not much, but <strong>why Adobe Media Encoder 2020 is rendering my simple 720p video with subtitles so slow?!</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>It takes 20 minutes to render my 5 minute 720p video</strong> with default H264 settings. What is going on here?</p>
  
  <p>And there are no scaling or other effects. Just the video and hardcoded subtitles.</p>

Comments.Text: 20 minutes to render a 5 minute video on a slower machine doesn't sound that bad to me. Videos take ages in general. Often I end up rendering stuff overnight.
