I want to know if it's worth future proofing when I build my new PC, I know some games are running full speed on these emulators even now. How many cores, do you think? Will rpcs3 make multi core cpus more worth it with the ps3's 8 core cpu?
Its still uses 7th gen tech so yeah and to @jamieyello the most you could possible need is an i5 650 Overclocked to 4.0 GHz.I just want to correct you because it pissed me off that you think Wii U is 7th gen but Wii U is actually 8th gen and started the 8th. Not the shitty PS4 or XBOX One (which, if played for more than an hour, melts the plastic) started it. God dammit. I always have to correct people because it feels like my job.
When it comes to the number of cores i'd say number of cores to be emulated + one more for audio emulation.
Wii U has 3 cores. So the emulator could use 4 cores.
A lot Wii games can be emulated at full speed on my i3 CPU at a clockspeed of 2.27GHz. So I assume that 4GHz should be enough if the emulator is as advanced as the Dolphin Emulator.
Just an assumption. I may be wrong

My cheap dual core quad manages some wii games as well. I'm looking for some kind of price range, GHz really isn't an accurate measurement of cpu power though. I don't know why that ever caught on.
I never said Wii U was a 7th gen console. You imagined that part.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Dual core? I don't know how long we'll be able to get away with that as the hardware emulated gets more and more cores.
a console with something as Miiverse or Amiibo was unthinkable in 2005 when the 7th generation started.
My quad-core 1.8GHz I3 3217U runs 90% of all the Wii games I threw at it at full speed.
Well, Microsoft managed to get Xbox 360 games running on the Xbox 1, and the Xbox 1 CPU is not particularly powerful. However, I suspect that there is a lot of optimization there and it has to be done on a game-by-game basis.
Didn't know my xbox melted after an hour wich that big ass fan in it causing everybody to call it a VCR.I just want to correct you because it pissed me off that you think Wii U is 7th gen but Wii U is actually 8th gen and started the 8th.
