what is the bst gpu and cpu for emulation

There is more than one FX CPU you know

...

Not sure if you're just trying to get out of this without admitting you're wrong or not.


"an FX OC'd high would work." is most certainly implying that "there is no FX CPU that can perform this task without a high overclock", which is definitely untrue.

The proper way to say that only higher-end FX CPUs would be suitable for this task would be something along the lines of "A higher-end FX or an overclocked lower end one". That, even if untrue (I cannot affirm nor deny that, for I do not own weaker FX models, nor do I want to spend my time pointlessly going and fetching performance results for a number of CPUs I'm not particularly interested in, as it serves nothing in my point), would be a much more accurate statement.

So you have a 8 core FX 8350 that can run emulate games at 60fps. Great!

But what I am trying to say is in general the AMD line x4 810, fx4100 8120 etc all suffer from poor IPC the only thing that they beat intel is in raw cores

EDIT: By the way this is true to it's word

"Just because a CPU has a high clock speed (e.g. in GHz) doesn't mean that it is powerful.[ For example, a 4GHz Pentium 4 is much, much less powerful than a 3GHz i5. Though "i5" is quite vague, as that could be any of the generations or models, P4s are just that weak. Newer CPUs are almost always better. Though the particular architechture does matter.A common misconception is that a higher CPU clock speed guarantees improved emulation performance. Although clock speed is one of the main factors for good CPU performance, it is not the determining factor. Newer CPUs generally perform better than older ones at similar clock speeds. For example, a 2.4 GHz dual-core Intel Core 2 processor will generally outperform a 3.2 GHz dual-core Intel Pentium D processor. Even though the Pentium D is clocked higher, the Core 2 Duo is faster due to the Core microarchitecture of the Core 2 Duo having so much higher instructions per clock than Netburst microarchitecture of the Pentium D that it can do more instructions per second despite having lower frequency. This is true of many modern Intel vs AMD processors as the high-end Intel processors are more efficient than the high-end AMD processors. Main reason for that is because Intel processors have higher performing floating-point units, and far greater cache/memory bandwidth/lower latency."
