PS3 emulator makes Cell CPU breakthrough that improves performance in all games (tomshardware.com)

RPCS3 developers say they’ve improved PS3 Cell CPU emulation by identifying new SPU instruction usage patterns and adding more efficient recompilation code paths. The change reduces CPU overhead and is reported to raise performance across the emulator’s library, with SPU-heavy games like Twisted Metal seeing roughly a 5–7% FPS gain. RPCS3 also notes similar benefits on both low- and high-end PCs and points to some user-reported audio and Gran Turismo 5 improvements.
