CPUs and multiple monitor

Hey, just a quick question all. I currently have an 11th generation i7 running with my 3080 Nvidia GPU and was wondering if I would get better frame rates out of an 11th generation i9 processor of the same number of cores and threads and megahertz, with the same GPU on a three monitor setup on MSFS 2020. Thanks for any replies, Mike

I would not expect any improvement.

The 11th Gen i9 was not an impressive improvement over the prior version.

Thx; I was wondering if, with the two being so similar in cache/gen/speed, the architecture alone would be much of an improvement. If no, I’ll save my $. Mike
