Question / Help Question about Dual PC setup. CPU choise

[AriesGOSU]

ive been streaming with dual PC setup for a while now with a "intel i5 760" in the Streaming PC, but i also have a "AMD Phenom II X6 1055T" lying around and a friend of mine said "you might concider using the AMD CPU since it has more cores"

what do you experts say? i have both "i5 760" and "Phenom II X6 1055T" so witch one would be the better for encoding? i will not play games on this PC, it will only be streaming whatever im doing at the Game PC.

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-760-vs-AMD-Phenom-II-X6-1055T This test shows that "i5 is better" but it might be diffrent since i just want it for encoding?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my potato english. :>


EDIT: i realised i aslo have a "AMD FX-4170", would it be worth it to buy a MOBO for it, or is this CPU in the same class as the others i have?

Hard to say. I wouldn't spend money on any of these. If you already have all the parts, then I'd probably try them and see which one actually works best. But in theory they are close to each other. To determine which is best between them via theorycrafting is splitting hairs IMO because I wouldn't consider any of these CPUs to be actually good at encoding, but they might be passable. I would not buy a MB for the FX-4170, its not any better than the others you have.
