ryzen vs kaby lake streaming

[jjohnthedon1]

although intel has the numbers in pauls hardwares video on the consumer side, look at what the view sees on a stream, also this is with ryzen at stock 3ghz vs 7700k at 4.9

Yeah, if you're streaming, Ryzen is the way to go.

i mean, 1700 is basically a 5960x with fewer lanes, can't exactly compare an 8c/16t monster to a mainstream 4c/8t IPC driven gaming CPU. if games are optimized to use 8c/16t ryzen 1700 will run circles around the 7700k, streaming requires more resources, so it's logical for a more powerful CPU to pull ahead.  

 

summary 

best gaming CPU- 7700k 

if you do more than gaming get a ryzen CPU.

i am amazed at how much better it was in terms of smoothness and frames droped at 3 ghz compared to the 7700k at 4.9 tho

This is why hyper-threading means very little when you can compare to physical cores. Don't take an i5 for streaming, complain about poor streaming, only to get an i7 for streaming. A quad-core with HT is just a quad-core. You're not adding anything to your CPU that would help when the load is higher than your abilities in the first place. 

 

This is why a bunch of streamers use hexa- and octa-cores for streaming and recording.

Totally agree.
