Which one for streaming?

Go to solution Solved by themaniac,

the xeon because it has 4 cores 8 threads instead of the i5 with 4 core 4 threads

I have the option of 2 builds, but don't know which will be better for streaming.

 

Which would  be better for streaming/gaming?

Xeon - Basically an i7 w/o iGPU.

 

 

the xeon but only by a little bit 

 

 

Xeon, those extra threads help a ton in streaming.

 

 

Xeon. Also why not dual-channel RAM?

 

Thanks guys, that's what I thought as well. Just wanted to double check my work with the tech community.

 

 

Why no Dual-Channel? The plan is to upgrade to 16GB in the future anyway. I guess in that case it would go up to quad-channel, but there are little gains for the extra cost idk. (let's not debate over it, it's kinda s small deal.)

 

Edit:

I gave the best answer to the first response with the majority voted answer. thanks again everyone.
