:Xenia is the leading [[High/Low_level_emulation|hybrid approach]] Xbox 360 emulator that's made it the furthest. While it isn't nearly as compatible as RPCS3 is for [[PlayStation_3_emulators|PlayStation 3]], impressive performance outshines RPCS3 due to RPCS3's [[PlayStation_3_emulators#Emulation_issues|extremely challenging SPU emulation]] resulting reasonably higher CPU demands. Another reason for performance difference is Xenia utilizes [[High/Low_level_emulation|very high-level emulation (HLE) approach for the CPU, while relying heavily on Low-Level Emulation (LLE) for the GPU]]<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/308194948048486401/308194948048486401/1192362532212576348 Rick's xenia discord message about LLE and HLE]</ref><ref>[https://discord.com/channels/308194948048486401/701111856600711208/1090315143226863616 chrispy's comments about xenia's approach]</ref>. Due to these approaches and other reasons/optimizations (see [[Emulation accuracy]] page): it's making Xenia more reliant on GPU performance instead of CPU (especially compared to RPCS3). But keep in mind that, it's still depends heavily on CPU single thread performance due to graphics API-related calls and focusing solely '''average''' CPU utilization percentage numbers may give you false impression[https://discord.com/channels/308194948048486401/308194948048486401/1199060658059235479]. So in summary: just like most other software emulators, CPU's with better [https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html single threaded performance] will give you better framerates than before (considering you're not hitting GPU bottleneck)[https://discord.com/channels/308194948048486401/308194948048486401/518932236746096640].
