You'd pick the Intel setup for streaming at 720p60, focusing on Valorant, Apex, Warzone and similar titles (excluding Triple A games). QuickSync would work well if you need live streaming. I7 10700 paired with a Z490 board or Ryzen 7 3700X with a B550 board is the cheaper option compared to AMD. Looking forward to your thoughts and comments!
Need something more powerful? A 3600Hz clock speed would be ideal, and boosting the frequency further would help.
You're likely thinking about streaming via your GPU. If you have access to one, Intel seems a solid choice because of its stronger performance compared to other options. It looks like you're prioritizing speed over cost right now.
Streaming CPU isn't crucial; NVENC works well. Choose the i7 with a cooler for a better option. If it lacks one, opt for the 3700x model.
