Performance question - albundy - 01-17-2018
Hi,
because i want to buy new hardware i have a question:
What makes more sense for running - not recompiling - ps3-software?
A cpu with highest GHz or a cpu with many cores.
In other words, does rpcs3 spread ps3-threads to cpu-threads?
Many thanks for any answer.

You need a CPU with good IPC, architecture and many cores all together. RPCS3 multi-threads very well.
moar GHZ and cores doesn't necessarily relate to performance, you can have a CPU like FX-8350 which has 8 cores and 4.0GHz base clock, yet the CPU is garbage.
i7 8700K is recommended right now, good clock, good IPC and 6 cores 12 threads.

Thanks for your answer.
Because i use a notebook with an core i5-4200m
i think i will upgrade to an i7-7700HQ.

7700HQ is fine.
If you can wait for 8700HQ, even better. Has 2 extra cores and 4 more threads.

weren't all AMD CPUs before Ryzen Garbage?
AFAIK is Intel still better in Single Core Performance than Ryzen.
RE: Performance question - Ani - 01-22-2018
All AMD CPUs before Ryzen are bad nowadays, Piledriver and Bulldozer have garbage architecture and they're garbage.
What does that have to do with my comment though?
