Do intel still out perform AMD on emulation? I'm upgrading my pc under my tv, I find most of the games I play now are on emulators. Especially great playing old PS1 games that I never played the first time round, which all the smoothing etc. I keep hearing IPC is higher on intel? But I guess this latest news means ryzen will out perform on IPC too?

Emulating a PS1 can be done well on a PC from 2000. The Sega Dreamcast emulated select PS1 games with resolution upscaling and texture filtering in 1999/2000.

You would only need a beefy processor if you are emulating a PS3 or using one of those insane near 100% system SNES emulators with Run-ahead

Yeah, I'm currently running a 8200 intel. But I'd like to be able to emulate PS2, gamecube, Dreamcast and wii. I'll need a decent graphics card too.

In theory these new CPUs should give around a 20-25% fps increase as long as you're not bottle necking your cpu with an under powered graphics card.

Hi, 20 to 25 percent compared to current gen ryzens?

[proverbialbunny → bennysonething]

Yes.
