PlayStation 3 emulator increases its CPU performance by 30% with AVX-512
Intel Core i9-12900K CPU was used for testing at 5.2 GHz with AVx-512 enabled. Using standard SSE2 instructions, the game only hit 5 FPS. Switching to AVX2/FMA gives us an additional 13% performance boost, AVX2 to AVX-512 gives a 30% performance boost.
Online media RPCS3 emulator blog has a report from the emulator's developer, he talks about the benefits of AVX-512 on current CPUs. The blog post explains how AVX-512 works and how it benefits the emulator for individuals who seek more performance. Whatcookie, one of the numerous people working on the RPCS3 Emulator project, examines how AVX-512 aids in instruction processing more than normal AVX2, reports HD Technologica.
The following are the main advantages:
- Larger log file.
- New ways of working with old instruction sets.
- Mask records.
The creator demonstrates how all of this contributes to the improved performance of RPCS3, the most popular PS3 emulator. For testing, an Intel Core i9-12900K CPU running at 5.2 GHz with AVX-512 enabled was employed. The game only achieved 5 frames per second while utilizing conventional SSE2 instructions, but 160 frames per second when using SSE 4.1 instructions. Moving to AVX2/FMA gives us an additional 13% performance boost, and switching from AVX2 to AVX-512 gives a 30% performance boost at 242 FPS.
While Intel has been removing AVX-512 support from its 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs, we have seen the performance potential and it appears that the Zen 4 "Ryzen 7000" line of CPUs, which were recently announced by AMD , you will be able to take great advantage of it. The core architecture of Zen 4 will support AVX-512. This will be very beneficial for the RPCS3 emulator and may force Intel to reconsider removing AVX-512 from its chips.

All this performance boost and Sony still can't run PS3 games based on the PS premium subscription which is enabled this month/weeks on the PS5 because of too many security features and the problem of the cell architecture from the PS3 console...
We now know that the best way is to actually run an emulator on PS5 to be able to run PS3 games... They could do it if they wanted to even with SSE 4, but naah. Now emulating on PC will be amazing

PS3 natively ran games at 25-60 fps, Google seems to be telling me. 242 fps sounds like a lot. Many a game might produce erratic behavior.

I'm using newest bios with modded support for avx 512. Using "old" ucode.
Asus Apex z690 with 12900k.
Binned 12900k with avx 512 is worth more on ebay than any binned 12900ks
