The build team has already started to look for a 1RU, 2 server blade, 2 cores each server to buy to test our workload on it. Space and power vs. test and build throughput wins all battles. Great job AMD. Me personally, I just want to know if it can handle Civ6 with huge map and 18 AI players. It’s the little things..

IDK about EPYC, but my 3700x was blazing through startgame with those settings on Linux Civ 6.

Where standard/8 AI was unplayable on my FX8350.

Civ AI is still single-threaded so the 9900k and 9700k are the reigning champions. Zen 2 brought AMD close to parity though.

Is there any benefit to multicore on Civ6 at all?
