We need a fast CPU for a comfortable game?

I have old Intel i7 4770 4 cores CPU, will replacing it with a new 10-16+ core CPU solve the problem of delays in battles with a large number of ships? For now almost impossible playing massive battles.

In my semi--informed opinion, what you're (we're) waiting on is game engine optimization.  I've seen games with more factions and a deeper political system wizz by.  This is not a beta game, no matter what the devs call it.  It is not feature complete, let alone feature-fleshed out and deepened.  Right now half the features you could automate and never notice a difference.  I look forward to further development and refinement.

This game is mostly singled threaded, so a new CPU will make an improvement but not because of core count. I would look at the 5800X3D or one of the mid-range intel 13th gen CPUs for the best performance on a budget. AMD 7000 series doesn't make sense if you are on a budget because it will require DDR5. Of course, if you aren't on a budget then a 7000 series is a great option.
