I have a intel i7-3770 processor. But Dolphin actually uses dual-core (based on my researches). Is there any way to Dolphin utilize the extra cores/threads for extra performance on high CPU demanding like Sonic Colors. Also using a new processor like intel i7-7700K 4.2GHz will give better performance? BTW i use always the latest version of Dolphin.
My specs:
Operating System: Windows 10 x64
Processor/CPU: intel I7 3770 3.4 Ghz
Video Card/GPU: Nvidia GeForce 1060 6GB
Memory/RAM: 16 GB
Dolphin Revision Currently Using: 5.0-xxxx X64 (always the latest) and the latest Ishiiruka for custom textures.

I'm still learning english. Please, be patient with me. And, if i make a mistake, please correct me, i will learn a lot this way!  Big Grin

Using the 7700k will give you better performance (due to higher clock and IPC), but really any more than a 3 core CPU (which can use the 3 core for backround stuff, etc) won't do any better.

i7 7700k vs i7 3770k though (Anandtech don't have i7 3770)
Please ignore other results and look for "Dolphin Emulation Benchmark"

Dolphin can only utilize 2 threads effectively with its current design; simply adding more threads would actually make emulation slower.
