It's probably memory throughput and latency more than single core performance in your case. Factorio is primarily limited by CPU cache misses. It ticks 50% faster on a Ryzen 7 5800X3D than on an 5800X because of the extra 64 MB L3.
Needless to say the Switch won't fare well for mega bases with it's 2 MB L2.
- louwrentius 4y agoWow, that's interesting[0] as I'm planning to replace the 10 year old i5 with something new to run my mega bases at 60 UPS.

- Comevius 4y agoThere will be at least one Zen 4 CPU with 3D cache coming this year, with DDR5-6000 it will be the belle of the Factorio ball.
- xani_ 4y agoNGL, performance in Factorio and Dwarf Fortress will probably be criteria for when I will be upgrading my rig.

- Melatonic 4y agoI wonder if I should upgrade my old ass intel 5820k (looks like it has 15mb "smart cache") to the basically just as old 6950x with a whopping 25mb
- louwrentius 4y agoMy i5 4670K does like 107 on 6MB of cache. Whereas a modern CPU does double that. https://factoriobox.1au.us/results/cpus?map=4c5f65003d84370f16d6950f639be1d6f92984f24c0240de6335d3e161705504&vl=1.1.69&vh=1.1.69 https://factoriobox.1au.us/results/cpus?map=4c5f65003d84370f...
