He's looking to build a completely new system, so it's a toss-up between the 10900kf and whatever looks to be good from AMD at a similar price, but I do appreciate the data point :) From the few sparse google sheets I've seen, it looked like X-Plane was still preferring Intel cores and NVIDIA GPUs. It's a shame really, everyone's benchmarking the GPUs and nobody's looking at the impact of the CPU as far as I could tell. But now that we have an AMD core that's 20% faster than the previous one, the tables might've turned. Best of luck developing X-Plane, I wish I could help you guys justify the Linux support, but unfortunately I've not got the enthusiasm or free time to commit to a flight sim just now.
