Cities: Skylines, Intel or AMD

Go to solution Solved by Brent744,

AMD is the way to go with this title. It relies heavily on CPU performance and at the moment, AMD offerings give you more cores and more threads for a better price.

What is your performance target?

 

Even the lowly Ryzen 3 2200G has good performance in that game, but it depends on the scale of the city and what you're running at.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

cities skyline game speed is heavily dependent on the traffic routing , namely that a larger city with a simple traffic system will run faster than a small city with a bad traffic system.

basically for the sole purposes of playing cities skylines , intel or amd isn't a considerable factor.

I want a new computer for mainly playing Cities: Skylines. I want to know what is better between Intel or AMD

 

It's 16gb (unless you don't like using mods and dlcs) and an ssd or ssd-cached hdd you want, and at least 2 cores.
