Is the 4460 decent at rendering and streaming.

So I am going to get the Intel core i5 4460. I will do gaming as well as some 720p video edititing and streaming. I know that the Xeon E3 1231 V3 is a much better choice but I have $190 and need to get a new CPU.

I just want to know if it has some decent render speeds and can stream alright.

Thanks :)

The additional threads of the 1231 V3 will help greatly in streaming and rendering - to the point where it will perform significantly better than the 4460.

It's alright, although you might wanna save up just a bit more and get the 4690k, since you can sqeeze quite a bit more performance out of it overclocked, and its not that much more expensive. 

 

EDIT: I'm not too familiar with the price of E3 family of processors, so you might also want to look into those.

Yep, should be fine. Very good for that price point

Yeah I understand that but like I only have $190 and need a better CPU. Like I physically can't get another $60 for that Ahha

But it's worse for streaming than a similarly priced Xeon E3-1231 V3.

Get what you can afford now or wait till you have an extra $60. The 4460 will get the job done just not as well as the Xeon E3-1231 V3. Your money, your choice :)

Depends on what you use to stream. OBS? Use Intel Quick Sync. Life saver.

I was planning obs but Quick Sync sounds good hahah
