I worked in call centers and a device smaller than what we had with 2 times the power is something we wouldve loved to have. We waited so long for programs and tools to open up becuase the ram had to allocate more space and the cpu could not handle multitasking very well.

Ryzen loves ram. IIRC it's just CPU speed but impact it quite a bit. Look up Gamer's Nexus on KZbin, they go pretty deep into not single vs dual, but ram speed as well. Basically though 3200mhz (low latency) dual channel is what you want.

Give it a few more years and well ALL be able to watch Halogram TV and our current smart tvs will be obsolete and we will look at them the way we look at a windows 95 computer with dial up in 2021..😂😂 I can't imagine not having the technology like we do today... it would force me to have to go out socialize more 🙄 vs currently being an introvert and always acting like I'm too busy to hangout with anyone when in reality I just LOVE being alone, when I can ACTUALLY be alone...

I would really like to see you test the Ratchet and clank games on the PS2 emulator as the games require a good cpu to run them even on a normal pc. You see the games where only able to run in software mode on older versions of PCSX2 (below 1.5.0 i think) as there where texture problems on the hardware mode setting. Now with new updates ( 1.5.0 and above) there is mipmapping in hardware mode that fixes most of the probelms. The main problem is that for PS2 emulation you need a good cpu as i said before, an AMD ryzen 5 3600 is a great one.( for a main pc build) I would say that getting the 550 dollar intel option of this is the best bet in terms of emulation.
