With major IPC improvements on these last two generations of Ryzen to the point that AMD are now claiming significant Ryzen 5000 performance leads in games where Intel previously always dominated (eg CSGO, PUBG), I have to say I'm looking forward to finding out once and for all whether it is possible for a CPU upgrade to make 4v4 late game playable in COH2. Or at least make 2v2 always smooth.
I just feel like if anything can help COH2 process its game state efficiently, it's probably this giant cache:

At the very least, I fully expect to get one and benchmark it against the 9900K at work. My 1600X was a huge upgrade for me at the time, but has always been a bit 'first gen'. I've been looking forward to AMD reaching a point where they had a nicely polished Ryzen chip. And judging by the very straight forward marketing and price increase, it looks like they think they've made one.
