Advice on a CPU for this emulator - WoolyGuy - 11-20-2020 Can anyone give me advice on which CPU I need to run this emulator well, and specifically NCAA College Football games, which I have read are pretty demanding? From reading around I believe that you need an 8core/16thread CPU to really run this well. Intel only has a couple 8/16 or better CPUs to choose from, the i7-10700K and i9-9900K (the others are really high end CPUs that are overkill and way too expensive). AMD, on the other hand, has lots of 8/16 Ryzen 7 CPUs (1700's from 2017, 2700's from 2018, and 3700s from 2019). Does it really matter which of these I choose? I don't want to buy more than I really need. Or, does anyone think a 6/12 CPU would work well and save me some money? I have tried an NCAA game on a 6/12 CPU and it had a few freezing issues, but maybe a higher end 6/12 CPU would work? Any help is appreciated, thank you!
