Why is it people consistently think emulation is all about giving it power to preform what the console does. Emulators not only have to emulate all the hardware that the console does it also must emulate the firmwares. Most all emulators dont really emulate at all... For example all but one n64 emulator (CEN64) uses tricks to fake emulation. A great example of a more true emulator is BSNES and even at that it does not emulate down to the transistor, it still makes guesses. To run BSNES you need at least a sandy ivy bridge. The snes CPU was a 16-bit 65c816 Ricoh 5A22 @ 3.58 MHz, and a intel 4ghz processor is required... Can you do the math??? Emulation have nothing to do with CPU to CPU comparison at all, period. So before saying some ridicules comment like X CPU is more then enough to emulate X console try to understand what you are actually talking about. Yes the CPU in most consoles are nothing compared to a computer but emulating a console per instruction is not how it works
