A lot of games use the SPUs to run some post processing pass over the final image like for example FXAA. There was a Sony developed library that did that which was part of the SDK. That forces the emulator to wait for the GPU to finish so both the CPU and then the GPU spend large parts of the frame waiting for each other. Most games have patches that removes those which speed up emulation to hundreds of FPS on decent PC hardware.
I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro and PS3 emulation can be hit or miss on that laptop. I opted for a hacked PS3 and have preferred to play games using a MClassic upscaler.
I'm pretty happy with the current state, my fold 7 feels like a mini Steam Deck with all the PC games I'm able to play now, fantastic work by all the devs who've saved my sanity when I'm out of data/WiFi range but can still boot into so many of my dusty back catalogue games on Steam now.

Rpcs3 emulation is hard even on pc man, the games are very cpu intensive
yea those effin cell architecture.
It can be rather lightweight in some games.

PS3 emulation everyone is on the same boat, lol.
What are hidden gem PS3 exclusives that will make all the effort/investment worth it?
Metal Gear Solid 4 and Demon Souls
Infamous 1+2, Littlebigplanet, Ratchet and Clank Future series
Little Big Planet
Crash Commando (Bots), GTI club, Resistance, Motorstorm, Killzone and Call of Duty 3 was a console only release
asura's wrath (tho it was also in xbox 360)
infamous and grand turismo
Ppsspp the goat
aether just after ppsspp imo, we are eating good lately with the progress in emulation
Rpcs3 is a monster
People wonder why even Sony themselves are struggling to bring PS3 emulation that work flawlessly to the PS5 for all games
For me, I can overlook jokes/criticisms about Mediatek.
I can't wait for one day to have a Snapdragon phone so I can finally play Winlator without any problems
Windows emulation isn't without problems, even on Snapdragon
A lot of problems even.
"Without problems" and the FPS is determined by a random number generator each frame even on an 8g3
The PS3 is known to be so intensive architecturally, not even Sony knew how to reverse engineer support for PS2 using the PS3's architecture
Tensor sucks so much it doesn't even deserve a mention
Pour one out for us Pixel users. (I know PS2 is 'fine', but...)
kirin are such undderated chips imo.
good thermals and not very much throttling.
I remember when I used my p40 pro I could basically play heavy games at 60fps until its battery died lmao
ps3 is a BITCH of a console to emulate. 99% of games are unstable even on pc.
very clear
Is the second one winlator?
Yes
Crying in my Exynos 2400e

Yuzu runs flawlessly on Exynos chip... for example Super Mario 3D World at 2k res at 60fps const, and 4k at 55-60.
Some exynos with eclipse gpu i assume, right ? , but at the same time mario had a 64bit update which makes emulation much easier
God save Snapdragon, the best 🙌😂

The RPCSX keeps updating, but only for dev versions. When Heavenly Sword is working i will say: Job well done 😁👍
