Hey guys,

So i just saw intel was gonna release some new badass CPU's.
I've got a few questions if anyone had any prior research on em or could just help me out with a few question.

As i love to stream stuff(Which is CPU intensive) with newer games my I7-4770k is struggling and often see dips and with certain games makes it unplayable(Not maintaining 60+FPS)

And now i saw this goddamn smexy CPU that rumored(Rumored!) has 10 cores & 20 threads.
If i'm correct a CPU like this will MAJORLY increase my overall permorance while streaming right?
I mean, It has alot more cores than my i7 It runs a little bit slower but with so many cores for multi threaded games i don't see it as a issue, And espescially with DX12 taking more advantage of CPU/GPU power(future games)

Would this be something to look into? I don't think there is any concrete information out there yet but i'm just wondering. Will it be a big improvent you think?

Cheers!

True without any benchmarks we would just be guessing haha. But would i be right to assume that streaming with this CPU(Rumored) to have 10 cores / 20 threads to be able to stream any game out there as of now?(If my GPU holds up ofcourse)
