PCSX2 runs better on Intel CPU's than AMD CPU's, and so does ''Shadow of the Colossus''. However, Intel CPUs are much more expensive than AMD ones, yet AMD processors can still offer great emulation performance (at half-price) provided that the clock rate is high enough. Here are my recommendations when deciding what CPU to run the game on. Remember, PCSX2 uses only two cores, so provided that your CPU has the recommended clock rate(s), it will perform perfectly regardless of the number of cores (as long as there are at least two). | ||

Because Intel Processors run better, they are definitely the recommended option if you can afford it. If this is the case, here | Because Intel Processors run better, they are definitely the recommended option if you can afford it. If this is the case, here are my recommendations: | ||
*A Multi-Core | *A Multi-Core Processor with a clock rate of at least 3.5 GHz | ||
*A Multi-Core Processor with a clock rate of 4.0 GHz | |||
These kinds of CPU's, coupled with the appropriate VU Cycle Stealing Setting will run the game at the best possible quality, easily achieving between 30 and 60 Frames-Per-Second. | |||

Since AMD Processors are cheaper and more ideal for Gaming PC's, they may be the ideal choice for many PCSX2 users and PC gamers. If this is the case, I'd strongly recommend the following: | Since AMD Processors are cheaper and more ideal for Gaming PC's, they may be the ideal choice for many PCSX2 users and PC gamers.
