New notebook advice i7700hq or i6820hk

I mainly use the notbook for editing 4k video up to 60fps. So i read a lot of stuff about the HEVC 10 Bit hardware encoding/decoding. So may someone can clear things up for me. The GPU on both options will be a GTX 1070 8gb vram.

What I understand the i7700 has the ability of hardware encoding 4k 10bit. Will this affect the preview in Vegas pro or only render time?

Is the render quality better ?

On the other hand the i6820 is the faster cpu because of the ability to OC it.

What is more important in terms of smooth playpack in Vegas GPU or CPU?

Notebook 1: i7700hq 16gb Ram GTX 1070 8gb vram.

or i6820hk (OC to 4Ghz)32gb Ram GTX 1070 8gb vram.

Maybe someone can help me. Thank you :)

Given the similarity of performance between the two processors, I’d select:

1) the one with the newest on-die video hardware.

2) the machine bundle that looks, feels and/or has the best price/performance. 32 GB of memory over 16 GB might be very useful.

On-die hardware encoding won’t necessarily produce better results, but it might produce results that are good enough faster.

Is your source media 10 bit?

Thank you for the answer. Meanwhile I have no 10 bit 4k but maybe in future.

And how important is the GPU? Do I get a smoother preview when I have a faster GPU with more vram in Sony Vegas?

Sony Vegas or Vegas?

i6820hk (OC to 4Ghz)32gb Ram GTX 1070 8gb vram.will be better than any but i think its bulky and pricy,and i think the difference in performance is less
