Hi,

internet seems to claim that Ryzen 5 3600 is the bestest most CPU-est single-thread furnace at the moment, is there anybody who has Ryzen 5 3600 (I'm looking at CL14-14-14-34 3200MHz memory specifically)?

I've found https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/ccy927/update_ryzen_3000_memory_speed_benchmarks/ for the Ryzen memory test.

However, the 8700K is capped at 4.2GHz in that test, but on full blast u/madpavel seems to have went even further... https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/bdkrwz/10k_spm_belt_megabase_benchmarked_83ups_with_way/el01szt?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

I've got a 9900K (I run it at 4.7GHz) at work with CL17 4266MHz (BTW I only got a few UPS compared to CL15 3000MHz) and it performs just ridiculously well (though surprisingly a little worse than madpavel's OC insano-rig). I'm considering buying the Ryzen for home to save them $$$, but it seems to me like the Ryzen single-thread benchmarks aren't everything.

Also 0.18 optimized some things so the tests might come out a little differently now.

For reference I ask you to test these saves by running factorio.exe --benchmark "stevetrovs_10K_mega_belt_base.zip", I used the Steam version of Factorio 0.18.6.

https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/98qruz/10k_spm_ups_optimized_train_megabase/ My 9900K result:

Performed 1000 updates in 9444.888 ms avg: 9.445 ms, min: 8.424 ms, max: 20.129 ms, so about 106UPS

My 9900K result

Performed 1000 updates in 9255.330 ms avg: 9.255 ms, min: 8.643 ms, max: 23.195 ms, so about 108UPS
