That particular CPU has poor multi-threaded performance. So much so that there is a thread around here that was posted in the past 2-3 months illustrating how locking the game client to 2-4 cores on that system resulted in a drastic improvement in performance.
Most AMD processers before the 3rd and 4th gen have similar issues.
Additional performance improvements to note.
1. If you OS is on a slow platter drive, so is your save data. You will experience hitches when it's loading world data if your world is on a slow drive. Move your saves to the SSD.
2. This isn't a 144FPS game. Lock it in to 60FPS. This will help to create a buffer that will prevent framerate dips.
3. Don't play at a resolution higher than 1080p. Your system cannot handle it, and due to the nature of Voxels, even high-end systems will experience dips.
4. As has been stated, Optimization comes in Beta. If you cannot handle games still in development, then you need to steer clear of Early Access. One very striking feature in this title is reflections. There has been almost zero optimization done on the reflection feature. Hell even Shadows didn't get any love until about a17. Turn off every option that has the word Reflection on it.
Also note that with your rig, Shadows should be set to Low.
