Threadripper VS i9

[Dennis_4]

I will be streaming. Which of these 2 cpus?

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920x 12 cores @ 4.0 Ghz

Intel® Core™ i9-7900X 4,5GHz

its not about cores and how many of them
its how to use them
thats it simply.

If all you're doing is streaming the 1700X should be fine, no need to spend that much. Depending on the game I might look at an 8700K too. You don't need 12 cores to stream, 6 works alright for most cases.

You would be wasting money on both processors.
Get a 7700k (or 8700k) or a Ryzen 7 depending on your budget.

There is no reason to spend money on a processor designed for content creators or extremely threaded work loads.
(You will never use that many threads)
