I've got an old computer I'm using as a server, it came with a processor that's 3.5 GHz, with 4 cores and 8 threads, and I've been experiencing some stuttering (primarily on 4k content) that I'm pretty sure is down to the processor struggling to transcode the video quickly enough. I've found a cheap processor on ebay with the same socket as my current one that's got 14 cores and 28 threads, but its clock speed is only 2.4 GHz. I'm not sure how significant an upgrade, if any, that would be for its transcoding performance.
