I made a chart out of the Dolphin benchmark results.
I didn't include the processors that only had one or two submissions, and Nehalem would have been in the same place as Sandy and Ivy, so I left it out too. It does make it clear that clock speed is much more important than architecture, though. Joe Lie's CPU would take 20-25 min to run the benchmark. What games will be playable at that level?
I just threw this together in a few minutes, but I think a high quality version with some horizontal divisions like "No you can't run Dolphin", "Some games will be okay", and "Almost everything will run at full speed" would be really helpful. It might reduce the number of "Is my computer fast enough for Dolphin?" threads.
