I don't think so. If I recall correctly, the PS1 processor was pretty worse than the PC ones of the time, which were strongly rising. By the time the PS2 was announced, the usual computer was around a Pentium II, much stronger than a PS1. It's not surprising that emulating it is fairly easy as well, unlike the Sega Saturn or Dreamcast *sigh*
