Yes.
And to some of the child replies, I think there's a question of scale that often gets overlooked. In all these discussions, there seems to be two different groups commingling: ones who just need 1-2 simultaneous streams, and ones who are doing true whole-house-plus systems.
I'm serving subtitles-enabled streams to (mostly) Roku clients - who need the server to burn in the subtitle track for some insane reason. It's nothing for my Plexbox to be serving 6 simultaneous streams. A 4790K would definitely not cut it for me.
