CEN64 aims to become a cycle-accurate N64 "simulator". It is rapidly progressing to a usable state, and is already capable of playing some commercial ROMs with only minor issues. However, due to its extreme focus on accuracy, it will also require good hardware to play at decent speeds. The emulator does not have a UI yet, although there are already quite a few unofficial frontends available.

CEN64 is unoptimized at this point. There's no GPU acceleration whatsoever. However, there are reports of people being able to run the emulator at decent framerates using a 3570K.

gamax92's "If CEN64 ran at fullspeed" video series. Yes, they have a Sonic fan character as their avatar. Disregard that, because their CEN64 videos are very interesting. Notice how many of the games shown are almost completely accurate to their console counterparts, save for a few hiccups. There are many parts of games shown that are notoriously difficult to emulate. There is a lot of potential shown in this emulator.
