Best way to update thousand of scripts only once per tick

Hello, in this case, I’ve a grid of tiles generally like 64x64 (4096) and each has its own “Tile” script.
The Tile scripts are stored in a Dictionnary.
I tried many methods but no one has god performance.
Example with delegates :
At each tile that spawns I suscribe “On Update” from the Tile script to the Level.OnUpdate event, it calls OnUpdate each tick in Level.
When a Tile dies I just unsuscribe the Tile from it.
Demo :

Edit : Thanks for all the replies, but I find a new solution : Unity - Scripting API: UnityEvent
So much faster than the delegates, and I optimized the terrain’s mesh (removed air Mesh)
I can upload a download link if someone wants to.

Maybe have one script, like a LevelManager, that would handle all the tiles, instead of leaving all the tiles handle their own logic. You’ll have one game loop (Update Method) instead of thousands, and that should save some performance. Of course, the best way to detect the real issue with performance in your game is by using the profiler.
