PS5 has some neat features, and the controller is really nice, but it feels much, much closer to the PS4 than the PS2 felt to the PS1, or the PS3 felt to the PS2. Its not helped by how much more complex games are, and how they target wider ranges of hardware than before, either. 13. kleinepoepjes • 1 yr. ago.
The PS3 had a unique cell processor (a single core at 3.2 GHz with 7 smaller assistance cores) where as the Xbox 360 had something like a tri-core processor each running at 3.2 GHz. It was always assumed that the PS4 was more powerful due to the cell processor, but I read a computer article that explained how the Xbox 360's hardware was more
Emulation requires significantly more powerful hardware than the hardware you are emulating. That's why even the best computers today still are struggling with PS3. Your best bet is to wait for Nixxes to port Sony's library of exclusives to PC. That'll happen long before handhelds are powerful enough to emulate PS4.
1PE + 7x SPE POWER (RISC) @ 3.2 GHz is more powerful than 8x x86_64 (CISC) @ 1.6 GHz? I'm not even talking about rendering capacity, because you appear to have completely disregarded the Broadband Engine.
PS2 used a very weird processor setup that was hard to develop for and hard to emulate. Its quite possible we could have a PS3 or 360 emulator before PS2 emulators are fully working. Either way though, we are quite a few years off from either having a playable emulator. Good emulation involves more than just cpu power.
