I seem to remember reading somewhere on the forums or the subreddit that for Factorio, memory speed is a lot more important than CPU/GPU performance (in terms of the UPS gains you can achieve by improving either of them)


Yes the simulation basically reads and writes all RAM each tic. So if your RAM is slow upgrading that gets you the biggest performance increase.
