It's for a (gaming) laptop, and most of them do not use desktop CPUs (though they do exist, they are quite rare and are pretty expensive… not to mention that battery life is not going to be great).
As far as I know, CPUs affect the emulation speed whereas a better GPU will allow you to use a higher internal resolution and improve the graphics. At some point, if your CPU is good enough for Dolphin and you want to run at 1080p, you'll probably be limited by your iGPU, which I'm not sure will be able to handle 3x IR. I'd suggest looking for a laptop with a dedicated GPU.
