Choosing a CPU

[themaster123]

The original poster already know that dolphin doesn't use a lot of core even stating so in the original post. As already stated the difference won't matter has most game aren't going to see any benefit(once you hit 100 speed there no point in going further). The benefit of the r9 3950x cores might be more useful in other app the op using over the 5-15% going from the i9-10900k(I factor overclock and worse case in the top range). Also if his last post was over a month ago and I'm sure he probably already got it anyways. My laptop i7 7700hq with a single ddr 2400 mem stick can run most of the game I play well(about 40 game with only 1 or 2 have slowdown). There a few case that have to use a my desktop to get full speed but most of the time this correct itself with an update to dolphin over time and in the case of game rare game like rogue squadron 3 (2 is fine on my laptop in general) it won't run a full speed on my r7 3700x anyways. the r7 3700x is around 30-40% faster then my laptop for dolphin if I remember right. Though it much faster(3200mhz) memory which is in dual channel also might be a factor.
