How powerful of a computer would be required to emulate a PS3 at full speed?

Timemaster asked:
I know that PCSX2 can’t even run 100% stable at full speed for all PS2 games, but I’m just curious; just how powerful does computer hardware need to be to emulate the PS3? 16-core processors clocked at 4.0ghz? What kind of hardware would we need?

LOL 16 cores?!? yea right. prob a amd 3core or quad or intel dual core, a blue raqy reader, 2-3gigs ram, a 512mb video card, adn maybe a creative labs soundblaster sudigy.

Okay now, let’s see.
Playstation emulation is illegal, you know.
But here goes.
The PS3 has a single 3.2ghz core, which is equivalent to the last gen Pentium 4, but you could emulate this with a high-clocked Intel E8600, which is dual core and stock clocked at 3.33ghz.
The RSX graphics running at 550mhz is equivalent to the last generation nVidia 7800GTX or 7900GTX, so you could simulate that with any graphics card around the 8800GT, 8800GTS, or the 9 series, e.g. 9800GT, 9600GT, 9800GTX, etc. ATI’s 4850 and 4870 would work.
Hope this helps

I would just add that playstation uses cells rather than cores but any processor that doesnt bottleneck a 7800gtx. Roughly pentium 4 or any dual core.
Also Blu ray for games isn’t essential as companies only make games about the size of a DVD (why design the same game twice for ps3 and Xbox since xbox only can use DVD’s? Although PS3 uses Blu ray disks they are not 100% full unless its an exclusive game).

computer would need blu-ray player games are 25gigs so 5 terabyte hard drive directx 13 by then. videocard wise probably newest you could get. cpu ummm.. I mean the ps2 was 294mhz and you need a 3.0ghz to get good speed considering that probably a 32ghz lol beacuse 3.2×10 is 32 3.2ghz being the ps3 processor speed.Also 16 cores would be hard to implement for developers and coders maybe 4cores to 8cores
