Single or Multiple Threads for Squadrons?

Will Squadrons lean toward more single-threaded performance, or will it utilize multiple threads?  It is 2020.

I note that the recommended spec for an AMD processor is a 3700X (8 cores) as opposed to a  3600 (6 cores).  At stock the 3700X is only 4% faster with single-threaded gaming applications, but at a 40% price markup.  I'm going to build a new system, 90% because this game is coming out and I want to get the full experience, trying to figure out where to cut costs. (I may just put up with my ancient 4 core, 4 thread intel system until Zen 3 comes out)

    @Merglet My guess is it will likely use single-threaded performance. The recommended CPU spec for an intel system is only a i7 7700, which is just a 4 core 8 thread CPU.

    But to future proof your system you always want to go more cores more threads with a CPU imo.
