More Information about Processor (CPU) Type and Speed
To use the basic functionality of Elgato Game Capture HD60, including video capture and editing, your CPU needs to be multi-core. It needs to have four or more cores.
Intel Processors
If you are using an Intel CPU, it should be a 4th Generation Intel Core i5, or a processor from a newer generation that's even more powerful.
Here are lists of 4th Generation Intel Core i5 processors:

A processor with a suffix like "U" (Ultra-low voltage) or "M" is not recommended, since it will have significantly lower performance. For example, i7-4510U might seem to be powerful, but the U suffix indicates that it has much lower performance than other i7 processors.
Pentium and Celeron processors do not meet the minimum specifications.
AMD Processors
Many processors made by AMD are also compatible, including Ryzen CPUs. They should be at least as powerful as a 4th Generation Intel Core i5processor.
To compare AMD processors to the Intel processors mentioned above, you can use benchmarks like those found here:
