TL;DR
The RPCS3 team has announced a new breakthrough in emulating the PlayStation 3 on PC.
This breakthrough centers on emulating the console’s notoriously complex Synergistic Processing Units.
These improvements mean you can expect better performance in games like Twisted Metal and Gran Turismo 5.
