All this talk about the 9900k/9700k being worth an upgrade if you like to stream your games.
"Sounds like BS, oft-repeated, never tested talking points to me!"
But its a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I had nothing better to do.
I'm sure none of this will new news to most of you.
I ran the canned Far Cry 5 benchmark with my 8700K, with and without streaming.
Also ran the same test with 2 cores disabled.
Since I can't magically add 2 cores... this was the best I could do.
Pretty amazing how much life that streaming sucks out of a pretty potent processor.
I feel bad for all the 4-core gamers
Edit- also- It looks like we've got a long ways to go before games start regularly making use of more than 4 cores.
