Actually depends on the emulators. The modern ones (RPCSX3, Citra, Cemu) are really greedy for single thread performance. Right now 7700k(or OC'ed 6700k) is the winner for them. In close future 8700K would be awesome because of 6 cores and similar clocks. Ryzen is also a great choice, but its single thread performance compared to intel is not that good and just trade-off for more cores. So it is your choice - cores or clocks?
