... have no idea what. ) So in the end all this Intel-servers (I think Intel has 95% market share on servers.) run much faster with 0.18. But for my bulldozer factorio is still a extremely bad optimized game. So if it is always a race between server and clients for the games I prefer I'm standing ...

The issues with the Bulldozer having 2 cores share a single pipeline ? I think the problem is more that they do not share the L3-Cache. Factorio communicates a lot with its RAM. I think on Intels a lot of this is absorbed by its L3 ...

Okay, graph time. Making graphs is way more convoluted than it should be in google docs and unfortunately I don't have access to Excel at the moment, so you're getting lovely TI-84 graphs. Boxes are Intel, plusses are AMD. Trend lines are unreliable for smaller data sets. Also to note is that multip...

Sure, I was exaggerating slightly to get my point across. But here's the data (AMD CPUs marked with an asterisk): 0.18.1 400 MHz: 41 UPS 1333 MHz: 64 UPS 1600 MHz: 70 UPS 2400 MHz: 56 UPS* 2933 MHz: 101 UPS 3000 MHz: 83 UPS* 3266 MHz: 85 UPS* 0.17.79 (larger sample size) NB: I discarded identical co...

That 3930K is almost certainly running four channels, and if so its memory is nearly as fast as that Ryzen rig's two channels. Which goes a long way towards explaining why its performance is nearly as good.

Maybe the second one was running 15 tabs of chrome at the same times aka you should not draw conclusion from single point of data

The conclusion I draw from that is as follows: If you want to play factorio you need decent speed memory. Faster Memory makes better results. But you don't need it really: Compare these two: https://factoriobox.1au.us/result/c562237c-684d-493f-9ff2-8f67ebac3527 https://factoriobox.1au.us/result/973...

The conclusion I draw from that is as follows: If you want to play factorio you need decent speed memory. One-sided conclusion. So far, the top AMD +3800 MHz memory with good timings is not lost at all by the top Intel with 2900 MHz memory. And if we talk about memory, then my database will not sta...

Here are the results for my office PC: https://factoriobox.1au.us/result/1042cc93-818f-4ca1-8d52-95d038ee07ba It has overall better hardware stats than your i5-6400 system but is much slower. So Overclocking brings you a lot. yesterday the site did not accept the results: I could upload the results ...

And as a Bulldozer owner, shouldn't you be well-aware about its single-threaded shortcomings ? Yes I know. But until now it was never a problem for factorio. Like I said I could play most of the maps even on my 9 year old Laptop. ...

EDIT : As a reminder, it's "Intel 3.3 Ghz to 3.69 Ghz" No, its not. The biggest Number is standing at INTEL CPU SPEEDS (OSX): 2.3 Ghz to 2.69 Ghz: 30%. But just searching for the biggest number is statistical bullshit. Even if you look only on Windows and only on Intel declaring the Categ...

Here are the results of the slower i5-6400 https://factoriobox.1au.us/result/f3f0f00c-51ce-4987-a473-08da0f3feae6 (I have to try this later) Seems that an i5-9400 or i5-9600 should achieve much better results (they are 3 generations newer) for the same price. 6400 - it’s not slow, it’s just old, bu...

If you want to spend lots of money, Intel will serve you well for Factorio in the high-end, but in the middle ground you'll get more bang out of your buck with an AMD CPU like the 3600 or a 2600. When I read this, I doubt that: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=42165 Thinking abou...

My AMD Ryzen 9 3900x runs Factorio just fine, about 4 times as fast as my laptop :lol: You may want to keep in mind that the bulldozer CPU's are a few years old and don't represent the current lineup of AMD CPU's.

Your performance on the charitymap provided by posila is better than that of my 6 year old laptop […] more than I expected from that poor AMD A10-5745M. Should be.
