Ryzen 3rd Gen performance
Had anyone seen around the web some benchmarks with the new AMD Ryzen 3rd Gen on Cities?
I'm wondering if It is time to upgrade my pc, I have a 4th Gen I7

You're fine. Most games are still designed for i7 4C/8T CPUs. No real need to upgrade.

I'll let you know when I get mine built up........ Altho in respects of this game, from my prior specs, I reckon that I'll see no differences.

Ryzen 2700x here with 16GB RAM and RX580. Game works like a charm on my system. As for your cpu its still a beast for games imho.

Ohh, good to hear, I'm suffering significant frame rate drop with bigger cities > 40,000

Decided to not bother with a Ryzen build......

Got a new Z390 motherboard and a 9900k instead.

Toasty :)

Intel is still best for games, due to best primary core performance, but on every other metric Ryzens are now the best all-round CPUs. Hopefully they will get their primary core stuff improved in next generation.

I was a little underwhelmed somewhat at the launch of the latest Ryzen. No doubt for many people it will be an amazing chip. But still the Intel CPU does more than hold its own, depending on your usage and needs. Oh and also how deep your pockets are...!

Yes, correct. I think for gamers clear winner is Intel, if you can afford it.

For environment (power consumption), cost, and overall performance Ryzen is definitely beating Intel however. Ryzen is focused on bulk consumers of compute resource; eg. cloud computing, large corporations, render farms, and so on. I think also that there is increasing chance that games will become more like a cloud service as fewer and fewer people can afford expensive gaming rigs but bandwidth becomes cheaper.

Intel is going to struggle in future, gamers alone are not enough to keep it afloat.
