good youtube/streaming processor?

[ProfessorChaos]

So i am looking to upgrade my cpu for better performance as far as video editing and streaming. right now i have a core i5 3470 but i either want a i7 5820k or a i7 6700k.
I have no probable going with the 5820k i wass just wondering how relevant the x99 motherboards will be in the coming years as i know that the z170 motherboards are new and will allow upgrades in the future.

5820K - Extra threads helps out with recording, editing, rendering, live streaming etc.

[WoodenMarker]

The 3470 should already be fine for streaming. As for editing, what did you have in mind? Are you struggling to edit with your current system?

 

Moved to CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory.

i am upgrading my cpu from an i5 3470 and was wondering if the skylake i7 6700k would be good enough to record games in 1080p ans stream them i have a gtx 980ti

Make sure to change your mobo and RAM as well.

If you want extra multithreaded performance for workstation tasks like rendering/etc that you mentioned, the 5820k is the way to go.

[Sauron]

For video editing and streaming definitely the 5820k

[Morgan MLGman]

5820k is just better overall. It's just that. For multitude of reasons.

[Arwanell]

for the things you stated 5820k will definetly do better

 

for gaming however, 6700k will do better

5820k because 6 coars and 12 THREADS

X99 will be just as relevant as Z170 for a while yet for the reasons of:

• DDR4
• having at least six cores across all processors as opposed to the two or four on the Skylake platform
• Broadwell-E is coming out in a few months
• penny for penny, being better in terms of performance on an overall standpoint.

The 5820K is what I went with, and I sure as sin don't regret it. It's a tiny bit pricier than Z170 right now, but I have no issue in recommending it regardless for streaming and video editing.

Actually there are four core 2011-3 Xeons. Ain't nobody want that shit though.

[Fungal]

Um aren't the new 6th gen high end processors using the 2011 -3 socket and on the x99 platform

Yeah I'd definitely get the 5820k and you'll possibly be able to upgrade in a few years without getting a new motherboard.

Those're optimised for multiple socket boards and higher frequencies than other Xeons. But yeah, two Xeons have four cores. More of an exception than the norm, though.
