INTEL i7 8700k or i9 10980xe
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i9-10980XE-vs-Intel-Core-i7-8700K/m935899vs3937

So I guess the older i7 would be better for Rimworld than the +1000 Euro newer CPU?

You cannot really compare a i7 to a i9 like this.

Firstly UserBenchmark is not that accurate to begin with.

Secondly the chip is not even released so there are relatively little benchmarks.

Thirdly the i9 is a workstation CPU its not meant to game on, and sacrifices frequency for high core counts. The i9 has 18 cores compared to the i7s 6 cores, and thus will have a massive advantage in multi threaded workloads.

Since this game is single threaded, even a i3 would have a similar performance to an older i7

Also: If you use userbenchmark to compare a i3 to a i7 the "effective" difference is only 17%. Which is obviously not true. The i7 crushes the i3 in most workloads.
