Currently, I am running a linux dev build of dolphin-emu on a Core i7 4790K. The build is a HTPC and is serving more than just dolphin-emu (eg. plexmedia server, samba, and private minecraft servers). I am going to upgrade it to a 2700x in the coming months for the extra cores to host the other applications besides dolphin.
Given that IPC is similar between the two processors, should I see much of a performance difference in dolphin-emu after the upgrade? My guess is not much, but I thought I would ask incase I am missing something. I don't want to be surprised.
Neither will be overclocked and actually both are undervolted to minimize heat.
I am just trying to set expectations, and get an idea of any issues or problems ahead of time so that I may mitigate them preemptively.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
