AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X Takes Top Spot RPCS3, a multi-platform open-source Sony PlayStation 3 emulator. The CPU is better than all its predecessors and Intel rivals. RPCS3 got AVX-512 support earlier this year and AMD’s latest CPUs based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture fully support his AVX-512 instructions.
AVX-512 support improves RPCS3 performance by 30%. This is enough to make AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X the most powerful CPU emulating a PS3 using this emulator. Again, AMD’s Zen 4 single-threaded performance improvements play a big role here. Are better Intel’s 11th Generation Core ‘Rocket Lake’ Processors with AVX-512 (via) reddit).
Intel’s AVX-512 instructions are perfect for emulating Sony’s PlayStation 3. The console is based on a Cell CPU with 1 general purpose Power core and 8 Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs) with in-order execution and a unique 128-bit instruction set architecture. SIMD organization. Cell processors offered explicit parallelism and large file registers, a combination perfectly supported by multicore CPUs supporting AVX-512. On the other hand, popular LLVM compilers can automatically choose the best possible code path, resulting in a 30% performance improvement on AVX-512 capable hardware.
Let’s be honest, modern gaming PCs are powerful enough to emulate Sony’s PlayStation 3 game console, which launched in 2006, and most of them play old games to mitigate the experience of 15 years ago. should be enough for RPCS3, on the other hand, uses AMD’s FSR technology to feast your eyes and add framerates thanks to its latest hardware to give you a more 2022 experience.
We don’t yet know how AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X processor stacks against Intel’s Core i9-13900K, but we are confident that the former CPU will continue to lead, at least in applications that utilize AVX-512 instructions. The 30% performance improvement is hard to offset with just a higher clock and larger cache.
