Is RPCS3 designed for single-core performance or multi-threaded performance?
RPCS3 is designed to make use of as many threads as possible. This means that processors such as Intel's 8 core, 16 thread 6900K or AMD's 8 core, 16 thread Ryzen R7 1700X will benefit greatly for emulating games at higher speeds. CPUs such as the Intel Core i7-7700K and the AMD FX 8320 will suffice but will not perform equally as well as a processor with more cores and threads.
