I've been looking around for a while now (started 2 months ago) at the idea of building a dedicated streaming rig. A rig that's only job would be to use a capture card to capture video and audio and run it through OBS.
I've been looking at either getting another i7 or a Xeon processor depending on which CPU would be better for just encoding raw data. I'm only asking this because I've read a lot of conflicting arguments for either or. I understand that the Xeon is a server based enterprise CPU but I like that idea that they generally have more cores and, from what I've been reading, might actually be better for streaming or recording at 1080p@60Fps.
For the rest of the rig.... nothing else really matters about that. I understand how to build computers and will acquire all the necessary parts to make a full finished product. I'm only have some confusion about that CPU's.
