2) Not all Ryzen CPUs are better.. the recommendation is that you have at least a hexa-core Ryzen, and even then it may not be enough for some demanding games. The problem is that the Bulldozer architecture is kinda bad, they group 2 CPU cores per 1 module that shares resources between these 2 CPU cores and stuff gets slowed down due to that. Ryzen architecture also has problems, cores are separated between 2 CCX modules and the latency is high enough that it causes issues on RPCS3 without running all SPU threads on only one half of the cores.


1.) How much of an overclock would I need to get good performance?

2.) Is there anything in particular I should be looking for in a new C.P.U. that would be relevant to getting good performance with RPCS3?
