Both vendors offer good chips for emulation and at all different price ranges on both brands.Hi, I'm not sure whether that thread should be kept clean for configuration recipes, or if it's also a proper place for reporting issues. In the end you really can't go terribly wrong with either. The good thing about the AMD chips is that if you want to build on a budget, they are very good CPU performance / cost ratio.įor Intel the only real drawback is the up front cost which is generally higher, but that will end up giving you better single thread performance and consistent performance in emulators too of course. The only major drawbacks for AMD on emulation is 1) power consumption -> extra cost over time and 2) lower single threaded performance. Overclocking helps on any chips (I'm not a fan of OC though). You can even get AMD 8350 Black edition for very cheap these days too. The games will still run well.Īlso getting a chip between a 43 doesn't really matter, and one costs considerably less, since for both the chips are similar in single thread performance anyway which is what matters most for current emulators. The AMD single thread performance is worse, and it is still better to get an i5 to run emulation 'the best' on desktops or laptops, or get an i7, but most people don't realize getting an AMD chip doesn't make the whole thing unplayable. Better on my desktop, because the 8320 gets more juice and the GPU is beefier even if it's an older chip. I have a 8320 on my desktop and i7 in my laptop and emulators run great on both. which everyone should know to do anyway when talking 6th gen emulation. They are just saying avoid the ultra-low end AMD CPUs. 83 are like $100 to $150 and perform perfectly fine with emulators. Yea that is most AMD CPUs that people would buy today anyway. Everything else is just basic, but reliable stuff.Ĭhaosblade's build is also a very good choice if you want to keep the expenses down. For storage, you might substitute or add an SSD. 1060 3GB gives you way more overhead than you'll ever need to push resolution as high as you want, while also giving the system some flexibility. A 2C/4T i3-6100 has a nice clock speed and uses the Skylake architecture, very fast in emulation.

It's more expensive and not nearly as cost-efficient by itself but it's basically 1 GPU upgrade away from top-tier PC gaming. I'll do something a little different and present a quick and dirty upgrade-friendly build. And you're asking about building PC's.not that it's completely related but lol.Īnyways a cheap Skylake and 950-tier card will do as has already been suggested.

Kind of odd that you're a software engineer but are surprised by emulation that much.
