I'm wondering which CPU would be better for Dolphin. I know which one is better in general (the i7), but I'm curious as to whether or not i7s perform better clock for clock.
The i7-930 comes at 2.8 Ghz (3.06 Turbo but I don't know if that matters in Dolphin) with a 4 x 256KB L2 Cache and 8MB L3 Cache.
The Phenom II X4 965 is at 3.4 Ghz with 4 x 512KB L2 Cache and 6MB L3 Cache.
I know the i7 has more powerful features like it's better instruction set and all that, but does it actually work better in Dolphin? Let's assume there's no overclocking done.
Thanks in advance, guys!
