Well my $1200 PC was outperforming PS5 five years before its release, so :ha:
I paid my PC 1500$ back in 2012 and I kept upgrading the gpu over time
The CPU is still fine (i7-2600) but it STARTS having troubles with games
Gives you an idea of how much the cpu is underused nowaday

EDIT : About emulation, I run all Wii U games just fine except BOTW (around 10fps) and switch emulators run like shit on it.

Yeah, every console up to and including PS4/XB1 had some pretty weak CPUs in them, so it was easier to get away with weaker ones in gaming PCs too.

I don'T get it
I get why powerful gpu are always important...
But why are powerful CPU important now more than past years?
Lots of reasons. Physics calculations, behavior of shadows, procedural generation, increased complexity of AI, etc. The number one reason console manufacturers are choosing to include better CPUs is simply cost, though. The price to performance ratio for modern AMD CPUs is off the charts, so they'd be foolish to not take advantage of that.
