<\/div>\"Livestreaming\n

Livestreaming can be a great way to reach a new audience, promote your brand or share your gaming skills with the world. It requires some serious hardware<\/strong> to get the job done correctly, and laptops are no exception. But, as with any tech purchase, you're faced with a barrage of questions, specifications, and options, and that can be overwhelming. That's where I come in.<\/p>\n

In this guide, I'll help you find the best laptop for livestreaming<\/strong> by breaking down the essential hardware components and what to look for when shopping. Additionally, I'll give you a few recommendations based on budget and use-case to make the decision process as simple as possible. No matter whether you're a seasoned streamer or just getting started, this guide will help you make an informed decision. Let's dive in!<\/p>\n

What's the best processor for Livestreaming?<\/h2>\n\"processor\n

When it comes to livestreaming, the CPU is the most important factor to consider. This is because we need a lot of performance to handle encoding and decoding video in real time. While it's not the only component responsible for real-time performance (motherboard, audio interface, and even video drivers could cause issues in this regard), it's still the most important one to get right.<\/p>\n

When choosing a processor for livestreaming, I prioritize H-series processors. This is because these processors offer better performance at the cost of battery life. Meanwhile, U-series processors are best suited for those who prioritize long battery runtime over raw power. Finally, X-series chips are reserved for the most extreme performance, but they come at a steep price and are not that much faster than high-end H-series processors.<\/p>\n

I use Cinebench R23 to compare different processors. This benchmark tests single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. Based on this benchmark, I've compiled a list of recommended processors organized by price bracket.<\/p>\n

Minimum:<\/strong> Ryzen 5 6600H; i5-12450H
\n Recommended:<\/strong> i7-12700H; Ryzen 7 6800H; Apple M1 Pro (or Max)
\n High-end:<\/strong> i9-12900HX; Ryzen 9 6900HX<\/p>\n

Choosing a graphics<\/h2>\n\"Livestreaming\n

With the recent release of Nvidia's RTX 30 series cards, there has never been a better time to upgrade your laptop's graphics card. If you're looking to livestream your gameplay or other content, you'll need a discrete GPU (dGPU) that can handle the encoding and decoding of video. In this guide, we'll recommend some of the best GPUs for livestreaming, based on performance and price.<\/p>\n

When it comes to graphics cards, there are three main things to consider: generation, tier, and benchmarks. The generation refers to the architecture of the GPU, and is important to consider because it will determine the card's performance and power efficiency. The tier is a measure of the card's performance, and is determined by the number of cores and clock speed. Finally, benchmarks are a good way to compare the performance of different GPUs.<\/p>\n

If you're looking for the best possible performance, you'll want to choose a card from the RTX 30 series. These cards offer the best performance per watt, and are based on the new Ampere architecture. The RTX 3070 Ti is the best option for most people, as it offers great performance at a reasonable price. If you're looking for the best possible value, the RX 6800M is a great option. It's based on the older Polaris architecture, but still offers good performance for its price.<\/p>\n
