I'm gonna okay I'll I'll humor this it's not I'm I'm, Carolina market for a new CPU specifically satisfactory if I'd focus on one factor should it be L3 cache clock speed or course I'll buy a horizon and with the extra cash really help big factories or is that less of a factor in games like this or am I better off looking for something else oh boy I wish I knew the answer to that it's, CPU architecture is very difficult and there are many factors like it could be the like depending on how you play the game could actually depend on what's like CPU technically is the best but I would say, I would argue that more cores is not going to benefit the game too much because the game is mostly running on like I think the like the game can't really run on too many cores because there's not too much you can offload on on threads, so I would say it's more important to have clock speed as it is with most games but I think there's also an element of course too so like but but here's the thing like I have a I have a four core CPU and the game runs same speed roughly as like my monster rig so I don't know if it actually matters too much, and that is overclocked the one that I have, L3 cache might make a difference but I think out of all those I think clock speed is the one that gonna make like have the biggest effect for satisfactory, but I might be wrong so don't just don't just take me as reference here but the game is heavily CPU bound I will say that as much the game is really heavily CPU bound the game isn't super it is serialized but the game isn't like monster serialized so if you have like 16 cores don't expect the game to be utilizing all those 16 cores, so it's what I'm trying to say here so hopefully that helps
