FAQ - some info outdated.

I think it's a good time to update this information:

After all, Ryzen is very good for emulation.

Yeah. Somebody should specify that Ryzen CPUs are fine for Dolphin.

You can make a PR to the www repo if you want

The FAQ entries aren't stored in the www repo as far as I know.

AFAIK the FAQ entries get pulled directly from Transifex, at least in the past, whatever I changed on Transifex got instantly updated on the FAQ from the website...

Keep in mind that although Ryzen improved a lot, equivalent Intel CPUs still have a small advantage on the IPC rate and as such, those Intel CPUs would still fare a bit better on some specific emulation scenarios. But yes, despite that Ryzen still is a good candidate for emulation in general and is an immense improvement in relation to past AMD CPUs...

We've already started working on updating the FAQ, but it's a bigger job than most people realize! And there was that whole "ubershaders" distraction. ;3

@helios that's not how the FAQ works.

You're nitpicking.

Ryzen is fine for emulation. It doesn't matter if intel is still better, that isn't the point.

Okay... but it's far from having a "poor IPC".
