It's not the games so much that are CPU intensive, it's the platform. New games are written to run on modern CPUs, because it would be silly not to. Even if you're not maxing them out, powerful CPUs are cheap, readily available, and they allow you to use modern techniques and development tools. From an emulation standpoint, however, you have to emulate the entire CPU for the game to work, regardless of how it's being used, which is why things get slow and CPU intensive.
