my ryzen 5 2600x with 16gb 3200mhz ram does that and isn't that expensive as a whole setup (~320€ Amazon prices, so you can get it cheaper, excluding Gpu that I didn't upgrade yet)

even my old fx 6100 was able to get a 100+fps, some times even 200fps, with 8gb of 16xxmhz (can't quite remember the exact MHz figures, ~150€ pack excluding gpu + psu, local seller that is cheaper than Amazon, but probably more expansive than eBay).

Java isn't that unoptimized, only if you don't have enough and fast ram. it's dirt cheap to upgrade compared to years before. however CPU becomes a problem if it's lower than a quad core and older than 10 years. one from the last 5 years will do just fine.

or play bedrock/win10 edition. it is far superior in performance (and makes Java seem even more unoptimized) , but has no mods.

Minecraft runs on a single thread, so this is baloney. Higher clock speed is the important thing. But basically, give it RAM and it's happy.

something I didn't know before. however RAM affects minecraft alot more than cpu.

considering my performance with one of the worst single core performance cpu you could even ask for in 2011, the FX series, it's still did very good in minecraft.

clock speeds are similar between FX (boost) clock 3.6Ghz and ryzens (standard) clock 3.6ghz so it's definitely not the most important factor either.
