Good day!
First of all, I am a huge fan of RPCS3, Incredible work! Anything that preserves the joy and memory of old school gaming is a gift to us all (scary to think that PS3 will soon be considered old school). Thank you!
I am hoping that someone could give me some advice. I built a computer primarily for emulation, and it handles everything great with the exception of PS3. I love having all my old games in one space, so its time to upgrade my CPU.
I have narrowed the options down to 10850k and 11600k. From what I can tell the performance is very similar, but I’m not certain and wanted to ask the community for input.
Which CPU would be best for RPCS3:
10850k with 10c/20t
11600k with 6c/12t
I have read that RPCS3 does not make use of more than 16 threads. So I assume that it will most likely only use 16 of the 20 cores on the 10850k.
Neither the 11600k or the 10850k are the ideal 8c/16t suggested by others. The 10700k is not as strong as the 11600k. And the 11700k is, well, not great.
This is perhaps for a different forum, but I’ll ask anyway…I narrowed down the options to these two based on similar performance and thermals. I think the 10850k will have better thermals since it is supposedly better silicon and would utilize less threads to achieve similar performance to the 11600k. Also, I heard the 10850k undervolts well, improving thermals.
