There is a lot of streamers that uses fx6 cpus to game and stream i would like to see an i3 cpu do that.

Haswell i3 could EASILY stream 720p 30fps to twitch. Just because you don't see people do that doesn't mean it cannot. 

 

Intel has much better x264 encoding performance no matter how many cores you have.

 

there you go, he even manages 60 fps.

Yes 720p in 30fps. I would say my self than an Fx6300 that can stream in 1080p 30fps is better.

i3 can also stream 1080p 30, it's not that much different, not that you would want to do that because it looks like complete shit. 60 fps is where the struggle begins.

But can the i3 also game while streaming 720p 30fps?

duh?

 

I don't know how many times I need to repeat this. i3 is EXACTLY like fx6300, even in multithreaded games like witcher 3
