Recently purchased a i5 legion and wanted to compare it to my 2013 i7 by creating the same RWG seed and comparing the generation times.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
i7 4770s,(4*8) 32gb DDR3 1600mhz, sata ssd ,gtx 1050ti 4gb.
Data Export Time: 3 minutes 27 seconds
Total Generation Time: 13 minutes 20 seconds
---------------------------------------------------------------------
i5 9400k standard clocking,(2*8) 16gb DDR4 2666mhz, pcie ssd, gtx1660ti 6gb.
Data Export Time: 3 minutes 9 seconds
Total Generation Time: 17 minutes 7 seconds
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i5 boots quicker and runs smoother (Although the i7's W10 install was ancient and full of junk)
Was suprised by the outcome the old i7 beat it by a long way.
So even though ram has less bandwidth plus caches are smaller and has less physical cores the combination of those 2 extra virtual threads and double the ram is a much much faster generation.
I have now reinstalled windows on the i7 and intend on using it for a dedi which im happy about because i don't know if the i5 could host and run 60fps with the high gfx settings even for a 2 player game.
If anyone else wants to add there times using the same seed the name is PRNG and its size is 8192 it would be interesting to compare.
Also it was created with 7dtd A18.2 b5 stable client and not the dedicated server as it was reported it produces a different map.
If we get enough generation times up it might be food for thought for the dev's , i know the forum is only a slice of the community but it might be useful feedback.
