Mimimum requirements for a perfect emulation

8700k has more threads. more threads better performance. at least I think that's right...

6 cores/6 threads vs 6 cores/12 threads. 8700k is 18-25% better performance. i'm still waiting on my gpu to test the 2600x (future living room build) with rpcs3, but I will say 8700k works great. i'm very happy with my 8700k.
