Here's one of the references from an SCS Dev.

@SquaredCircle - to save you some editing, there are LOD mods for the veg in my workshop I put up a long time ago for people who weren't comfortable doing the edits suggested at roextender on their own. There are 3 different levels there so you can try and find the sweet spot.

Thanks @Madkine & @Robinicus - this will both save some editing/experimenting.

Not particularly high-end, but Ryzen 5700G (integrated GPU) can run ETS2 with high setting on fullhd with 55+ FPS (yes even in Iberian cities). I was quite surprised to see that I dont need to buy discrete GPU anymore :)

Think on those AMD APUs like the laptops with an integrated (non-classic-Intel) GPU. So, it's clear they can deliver enough performance for a good playability, unless you want real HUGE FPS numbers or resolutions.

And in the future with RDNA 2 in APU's it will be even better ... presumably. :)

Yep, it's what is expected. I think I saw recently some news about AMD finally selling those in open market instead of limit them to prebuilt market.

There was a lot of criticism on that initial only-prebuilt policy but it was just because people can't stop just thinking on themselves instead on being objective on their complains.

Ok guys, got all the missing parts and moved to the current intel 1200 platform.

"Old" system:
i7-5930k OC to 4.6GHz
3080RTX
16GB RAM

"Problem":
At 4k(!) framerate drops well below 60 which leads to severe stuttering. Vegetation LODs are at 980/990, Traffic and Parking LODs at 4 and 3 respectively. AA through NPI, other settings all maxed to the highest possible value (except resolution/mirror resolution). Other than that, no mods.
Potential solution: Move to a current platform (AMD 5xxx or Intel 11xxx) as the CPU Single Thread Performance should be the bottleneck.
I decided to give the Intel platform a try (i5-11600k) as its Single Thread Performance should be around 40% better than the already OC'd 5930k

"New" System
i5-11600k stock settings, HT off (HT on gives SLIGHTLY worse results in Benchmarks and actual FPS)
32GB RAM; XMP enabled in BIOS, RAM at 3200MHz

First benchmark tests were a little bit discouraging as in CPU-Z and prime both Multi- and Single-Thread-Performance went up about 10% only and Unigine Superposition was exactly the same (latter one definitely CPU-bottlenecked only in VERY old systems)

Fired up ETS2 and tested a collection of scenarios (saved games) which made the old systems stutter.

AND...
BOY...

that's a difference:-)
I only get (VERY minor) stuttering in cases where there's a LOT of vegetation. I would not have expected this huge difference. Especially after the simple benchmarks I ran. Iberia cities at night with rain and traffic that were in the 45FPS class before run smoothly at 60.

I hope this helps a little for someone asking himself what is to be expected from a CPU upgrade like this. At least I really didn't have a clear idea on what to expect so I just tried. Please just note that I assume that most of the stress the system gets is to be attributed to the 4K-resolution but I have not tried it on a different monitor.
Guess it won't be long until I install a traffic mod to enjoy more realism and arrive at the exact same problem again:-)

Thanks a lot guys for helping me out with this!

Thanks, I was wondering about disabling hyperthreading, for some (server) applications it makes a difference
I have an old I7 4790 I can use instead of the i5 4670 I am using atm
