So I currently got a 2500K @4.7GHz, which I can basically play all the games at 100%. But I need to upgrade for other reasons basically for PC gaming. So I was wondering could someone venture a guess at how much of a boost am I looking at ? I'm hoping for at least a 20-30% boost over my 2500k ? I also use PCSX2 by the way.

I think the i5-4670K at 4.7GHz gets 15-20% easily thanks to the upgrades to the microarchitecture in Haswell. Improvements have been more incremental since then, however. So a 9th generation i5 should hit that 20-30% range you're looking for. 4.7GHz would be overkill in most cases though.

It will be fast enough to play anything you were struggling to hit full emulation speed with, at full speed, and then some. Which is the only relevant thing to your question here. A G3258 could play everything Dolphin could do (except maybe RS2 after Dynamic BATs) at 4.2 ghz (EDIT oops 4.2). You're aiming for a top of the line 2018 chip, you'll be fine.

Not for Intel, no. Unless you *really* care about synthetic benchmarks that make zero difference to any possible gaming or workstation workload.

Funny enough, RAM is actually heavily falling behind CPUs.
