PS5 emulation is a long ways off, because you generally need 2X faster processor to emulate any console processor.

PS5 has the same x86-64 CPU architecture as PC, but you still need 2X faster graphics card to emulate those fancy raytracing units.

    I dont think you can put a general number on that. But even if you do 2x is way to slow. Try maybe atleast 5-10x.

    You can emulate a SNES so accuratly that you need atleast 2,4ghz to run the emulator at all.

    Tbh, modern consoles are less about hardware level accuracy anyway.

    More the gist of what it's trying to draw and then translating that to modern GPU hardware. Where things like the SNES or Amiga had a lot of weird timing things going on.

    Would there still be a 2x multiplier? PS3 was weird, but does it translate to future Sony systems too?
