 AMD processors are generally cheaper than their Intel equivalents, but they don't perform as well with PCSX2 because of their architecture, even with an extremely high clock speed. (In most AMD Processors, the number of Floating-Point-Units is half the number of total CPU cores. This means that each Floating-Point-Unit is shared between two cores. If one core is currently using the FPU, the other core sharing it must wait to do the same. PCSX2 makes heavy use of Floating-Point operations, something that clock speed cannot easily compensate for.) Thus, AMD processors should only be used I f low price is a serious matter for you.
-If that's the case, I'd recommend the '''FX-4350 Quad-Core 4.2 GHz''', which sells for $122 USD. However, the performance will be inconsistent. Most of the game will run at about 15-30 frames-per-second, but the ending cutscenes and a few colossus battles will drop to 10-15 frames-per-second. On few specific occasions, there will be some serious slowdowns, albeit not unplayable. To be fair though, most of the game will still run slightly better than it did on the original Playstation 2.

On few specific occasions, there will be some serious slowdowns, albeit not unplayable (none of them occur during colossus battles).
