2015: Which CPU is good enough?

[walfo1]

First of all, you're better off getting the i5-4690K and not the i5-4670K as it's newer and more refined. The i5-4690K would be great for dolphin, overclocking can further help. I'd recommend the skylake i5-6600K though, as they're newer and will offer slightly better performance. The i7 isn't really beneficial for dolphin. Only difference is more cores and hyperthreading, which dolphin doesn't benefit from. The only benefit dolphin has is the increased clock speed, but overclocking can sort that.
