Quoting: syylkQuoting: PublicNuisancemy course of action is still a Power9 system long term.In April the P10s scale out will be in GA.
They're insane - fastest CPU money can buy.
I'll stick with the Power 9's over the 10's unless they change course on them.

Quoting: mr-victoryLet's see how much it can push the envelope for PS3 emulation, which requires a beastly processor.
I don't get the idea behind this. You are willing to get a high-end-CPU for at least x000 $ or € for the purpose of emulating a gaming device from 2006 that you can get for 90 bugs from an refurb seller? And you consider that a rational thought.

And you consider that a rational thought.A 16-core CPU obviously isn't necessary to emulate PS3 but say if you want 4K 60/120 FPS then it might be necessary.
And I am not planning an upgrade.
