More CPU cores?
I have a old i5 3570 and thinking about upgrading to a ryzen 2700 to afford larger households without simulation lag (i start to get lag after 12 sims). Will the upgrade help?

i7 is much faster then i5. i7 is what most pc's come with Today.
Not really. As the other guy said, depends. Some i5 are better than many i7. The 3570 runs at 3.4 Mhz if i remember right, and can be overclocked to 3.8 (the one i had, i cant remember the exact model). Many i7, sure they have more cores, but the speed is way inferior, making an i5 better in games that requires more cpu than gpu. I know today its hard to find a game that requires more cpu than gpu, but some semi-old games do it. And those games are going to run better on the i5 than any i7. More doesnt mean faster in some cases. Its like using 16gb of RAM. Almost not a single game uses 16gb ram. And most of them perform even better with just 8gb.
