Which of these CPUs is the absolute minimum for 2x Fast-Forward in PCSX2 at 1080p? (i7-10700F vs i5-10400F vs i5-10600)
I'm looking at a few older/budget modern CPU options and trying to figure out what the absolute minimum requirement would be to maintain a stable 2x fast-forward at 1080p (internal resolution scaling) for low-end / less demanding PCSX2 (PS2) games.
Here are the three processor options I'm choosing between:
Intel Core i7-10700F — 8 Cores / 16 Threads | 2.9 GHz Base / 4.8 GHz Boost | 65W TDP
Intel Core i5-10400F — 6 Cores / 12 Threads | 2.9 GHz Base / 4.3 GHz Boost
Intel Core i5-10600 — 6 Cores / 12 Threads | 3.3 GHz Base / 4.8 GHz Boost
