Ryzen 7 2700x vs i7-8700k

Ah yes, forgot everyone became a streamer/content creator after the 1st gen Ryzens released.
At 6 to 10 Mbps both NVENC and QuickSync will do a good enough job even in high motion scenes without the performance penalty associated with X264, albeit the quality will be slightly lower. If you're a serious streamer those benches are useless anyway since you'll most likely have a 2 PC setup.

But how else would I justify the performance loss by going ayymd? :)

sigh, its about the refresh, not the res..

I think his point was at a resolution of 1440p upwards your fps is gpu limited. So it doesn’t matter which cpu you have however at lower res i.e. 1080p then there is a fps difference as you’re cpu limited.
 
Interesting that Intel's microcode update completely obliterates even Coffee Lake perforamnce in GCC:

Meanwhile AMD's spectre microcode update doesn't affect I/O performance:

I guess you never played a demanding game while trying to listen to WinAmp or something else in the background (not to mention YouTube now)? :rolleyes:
If so, there is a surprise for the Intel's quads and hexacores - they most probably will begin to stutter, and stutter and lag a lot.

Never had such an issue with either my 7700k or 8700k, both at 5Ghz. Maybe do your research/get some experience before spouting such spurious claims?

Because 7700 and 8700 have eight and twelve logical processors, I mean the pure quads and hexacores, the ones non-HT.
This is my practices and experience. Always try to figure it out if the game will run smoothly with something else in the background.
 
Winamp :D How much cpu processing power does that demand? I'd be surprised if more than 1 future game in steam lists an 8c/16t cpu as recommended in 2019, let alone now.

it totally depends on the fps you get really. its not always so black and white, being limited by one or the other.
