This may be a stupid question, I do not know.
I've been researching for a future build, particularly for live streaming and gaming.
I've been researching the
Intel Core i7-4790K Devil’s Canyon Quad-Core 4.0GHz
and the
AMD FX-9590 Vishera 8-Core
I've been looking at benchmarks and the i7 beats the AMD in pretty much everything.
My question is, if the i7 barely beats the AMD in single core benchmarks, how does it still beat the AMD in ALL core benchmarks?
if it is 4 slightly stronger cores, as seems to be suggested by the single core benchmarks, vs 8 slightly weaker cores, shouldn't the AMD win when all 8 cores are a factor?
The reason this is concerning to me is that I have read that games are moving more toward utilizing more cores, which only seems logical as technology advances, and considering this would be a streaming machine, it will have many processes going at once.
