That is a good question. But I think you would find it better to ask a different question. Forget TSW on PC - think about your CPU needs for everything else. If you want a train simulator on PC - then get TS2020. If you really want TSW (which is more of a pretty train driving game, rather than a simulator....), then get TSW for PS4, which has a far better controller set-up. Unless you really like using keyboards, of course. But if I was just offered the choice of those two chips - I would personally take the AMD.... although I went for a less powerful but much cooler 8-core Ryzen 7 2700X - which does the job I need it to do for everything that I want.
