5600x vs 5800x
You're asking about adding more RAM to your system. Since you're already using Corsair Vengeance 8GB sticks at 3200MHz, it's a good idea to check if upgrading would help. The memory used by Ryzens is indeed important for performance. Consider whether more RAM would improve your experience.
I typically visit this site for PassMark Software CPU Benchmark Charts, but I also recommend checking out the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X review. It had a quicker single-core performance that matched some of my game preferences, and its multicore capability makes it suitable for other titles, allowing more background tasks. The 5600X is still solid if you don’t require the additional performance boosts.
If you don’t require extra storage then quicker RAM performs better, based on your existing system’s delays. A 3200 CL16 model tends to outperform a 3600 CL18 in this regard, though real-world gains for gaming will likely be minimal. Also, some Ryzen 5000 chips gain from dual-rank DIMMS or multiple single-rank units, but tweaking just for that usually offers little value. It’s more marketing fluff. Your motherboard should support RAM that meets XMP/DOCP standards for the best outcome, but other configurations can still work. My own RAM wasn’t in the motherboard’s speed band, yet it functions at 3600 MHz without issues. Overall, DDR4 remains a universal choice, not tailored to specific brands.
You ask about games that take advantage of a single core. I'm ready to share what works for you!
I believe I stayed under 10 grams during a tough workload, so the capacity issue doesn’t appear to matter. Appreciate your assistance!
Base systems typically lack top-tier graphics and often require multiple cores. They function similarly to Civ VI, yet demand calculations for every AI turn per game round. Faster individual cores reduce the time needed for each AI's turn.
