Question / Help CPU's for Encoding

[DiddyPlays]

Is there any cpu's you guys could recommend which would run 1080p 60 FPS @ Medium or Fast encoding presets? as a dedicated streaming machine

We recommend not streaming at 1080p60 at all. If you're just completely determined to do so then you should look into Haswell-E CPUs and get your wallet out.

1080p @ 60fps is fairly pointless as you'd need to stream at about 6-7Mbit / sec to get any sort of reasonable quality

Twitch do not allow anything over 3.5Mbit so.....don't bother.

720p @ 60fps will be ok at 3.5Mbit and you'll probably get away with it with a Sandybridge/IvyBridge/Haswell i5 or better.

Thats why my twitch stream is lower quality than my hitbox stream, and also thats why i was wondering about what cpu would be able to run 1080 60 fps at a low encoding setting as the lower the encoding the less bitrate you have to put in
