I've become a factorio junkie... and for a while now I'm looking into getting a new pc.... as my UPS is dropping below 30 with my current factory..
Although I have other reasons to get a new PC, I decided to just find the very best for Factorio and what I've seen is that single threaded is most important, after fastest RAM
With the new AMD Ryzen 5900X I was wondering if anyone here knows if it outperforms Intel or if I should still buy an Intel with my reasoning?
External link āIām waiting for that comparison by a decent reviewer. I want to see what that 5800x is like vs the 5900x. Like you say, the 5800 could get better gaming performance. There are some slight differences though with inter core latency and inter chilplet latency. The chiplets go through the io die. Where as the current zen chips also have inter ccx latency. So they have eliminated the ccx latency but regardless of whether you have 1 or 2 chiplets they still go through the IO die. So they could be the same performance. Will just have to wait and see.
The problem is that factorio is very specific and the memory differences could play a bigger role than in generic other tests. So having a factorio user make a benchmark with factorio specifically is best info you could get
