RPCS3 can run most PS3 games but Steam Deck may fall short in some of them. Recommended specs include 6 core CPU but Deck has 4.

It's also worth noting that even Sony can't be bothered to properly emulate the PS3, which has resulted in many PS3-era games being remade into either native PC versions, or PS4/5 titles.

While it's true that there are still some PS3-exclusive games that aren't available in other formats, many of them are, so most people can get pretty far without needing PS3 emulation.

I only bring that up for anyone that may think they need PS3 emulation, but maybe haven't been made aware of newer remakes or native PC ports of the games they're actually looking for.

Going by core count alone is a pretty shitty metric for CPU performance. The 4 core APU in the steam deck will outperform an 8 core bulldozer cpu by any metric

Except for power consumption and heat generation ;-) This is where Bulldozers were hot shit!
