This is emulation, not brute force hacking. What I mean is that no matter how strong you PC is, if the emulator is not advanced enough, your CPU won't matter.
For your questions: An 8 core CPU is ideal for this emulator, I have experienced this myself, moving from a 4 core to an 8 core i7 6700 (4GHZ) now I get twice the speed. Full speed for the games that work.
Skylake and Kabylake are essentially the same CPU. Coffelake is also the same technology with more threads and higher frequencies. In essence you are great with any i7 8 core (Skylake, Kabylake, Coffeelake)
My opinion? Getting a cofee lake CPU TODAY, is completely worthless, because you have to buy a super expensive motherboard and the CPU's are not any faster than Sky/Kabylake (only clocked higher). The best and cheapest path that will give you almost "the same results" (remember that) would be to get something like a non K i7 6700 with a super cheap H110 mobo and you are set!
Now if you have the money to spare, sure! buy the Coffe lake i7! But that won't guarantee your RPCS3 games will work (because of what I mentioned in the 1st paragraph).
Hope it makes sense, cheers.
