Quad, Hexa and Octo-core CPUs are useless for Dolphin since it uses only 2 cores (3 with DSP on thread). Also, you may want to get a strong Intel CPU instead for better performance (like i5 4670K).
Rig 1: Windows 10 Home | AMD A6-1450 @ 600/1000/1400 MHz | AMD Radeon HD Graphics 8250 | 4GB RAM | HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.

Rig 2: Windows 10 Pro | Intel Core i7-2640M @ 800/2800/3500 MHz | Intel HD 3000 Mobile | 8GB RAM | Dell Latitude 6320.

Actually, there is a small advantage to being able to handle background tasks when running Dolphin. In general, quad-core+ systems often experience minor boosts in performance (5% sounds right) over comparable dual-core systems when it comes to Dolphin. It's small enough to be insignificant practically, but objectively speaking having extra cores/threads around does help. If you believe the OpenMP texture decoder is anything but a placebo, then you might get speed ups there as well.
