I repeat, the higher the clock speed the better. Dolphin Emulator is a dual-core application so even if you have an i7, which is quad-core, you won’t see that much of an improvement over an i5 (quad-core) or i3 (dual-core). It is said that a quad-core processor will give you approximately 10-15% increase in performance so it does provide some benefit, but it’s not as substantial as you might think. Here is a general benchmark that was done to give you an idea on how important clock speed is: This performance increase mainly comes due to the fact if there was an additional process outside of Dolphin Emulator that it will run on the other available cores rather than the 2 that Dolphin is occupying. The “A” denotes that the CPU is fast enough to run the most demanding titles at full speed *, including double-speed mods with WS AR patches and virtual CPU overclock. * “Full Speed” in this benchmark means full speed all the time (without dips, even in the most demanding parts), not “full speed most of the time” or “full speed half of the time”.Īs you can see the top 3 scores are all the same processor, just at different clock speeds. The most important thing to note here is that the Pentium G3258 also achieved the “A” status and nearly achieves the same performance as an i5 and the i7.
