Apparently, this CPU is "blazing fast" when it comes to many tasks, but for some reason, it just absolutely blows for streaming (even as a dedicated streaming computer). This thing cannot even do 720p60 on fast. Thats pathetic since even my 4790k (which scores like less than half as this CPU) could do 720p60 on medium. I used to have an 8700k, and now a 10700k that can do 1080p60 on SLOW. What gives? Why is this CPU praised as surprisingly demolishing these CPUs, or matching them, but in OBS, it just takes a poop? Is it a lack of native support? Is it software-related, and this fixable, or is it permanent?
I have the 512GB MacBook Air that includes the full 8 GPU cores (not that it should matter since I don't use gpu encoding ever), and am using the latest Big Sur. My test involved sending my gaming PC (10700k, 6800 xt, 32GB RAM) to the Macbook via NDI. The CPU usage spikes to the high 80's 90's when trying anything usable (ie 1080p30 on fast, 720p60 on fast, etc). With all my previous CPUs, I could do at least 1080p30 on slow or 720p60 on slow. I would even accept 720p60 on medium.
