Is Ryzen 5 3600 good for emulation?

How good is Ryzen 5 3600 in terms of emulation? Speaking of emulation I'm talking about Citra/Yuzu/Cemu and all these stuffs ? Is it far behind than high end cpu's like Ryzen 3700X/Core I7 9700K? Or the average frame rate differences aren't that massive?

 

Thanks in advance :)

I'd say it would be very good CPU for emulation. Emulation is largely dependent on single threaded performance. And my Ryzen 5 1400 (A older model) handles dolphin and PCSX2 just fine. Citra is a harder to run emulator (not as developed) But that chip should handle it just fine. But make sure to pair the CPU with memory that has a rather high clock. Ryzen's performance is heavily dependent on the RAM speed and it will be especially the case when recompiling code (what an emulator does). I don't know about Yuzu or Cemu, however. Never heard of those emulators before.
