@FloW, what revision did LLE worked well? (No crappy sounds :p).
core i7 or phenom ii x6?

@Ocean ,but we all agreed that dolphin is asking about cpu speed instead of something else?
i have a friend with intel 2.2ghz dc according to all intel shold be supreme but it isnt in fact it lacks crucial fps in every game. so nevermind sseX instructions.all dolphin care is cache memory and cpu speed,do we agree on that? intel i7 920 is 2.6 with turbo clock up to 2.9,for as i see its far below requirements dolphin needs. now on other side phenom II x6 has unlocked multiplier and runs at standard 3.0 ghz with posibility to OC to 4ghz and over am i wrong? and offcourse what @Flow says intel mainboard politics.i know thread starter sayed no war ,and it isnt its just fact. for intel cpu their prices on most common cpu is not under 250$ but yet they cannot agreed on cpu's to support same motherboard..?i mean new board with new cpu? i have very old now 3 y old board m2n-sli (560 sli chipset) and in few days i am putting phenom x4 555 on that board.and later on i can gather cash and slowly by new board and switch to ddr3 ..one day :-) but ok last statement is just for "lowlifers" hard money makers like me..stupid country

i have a phenom 965 deneb core... i have it over clocked from 3.4 to 3.82 ghz without raising voltages. my nb/memory frequency is 2250... and i can outperform my friends i7 core at hyper pi calculation... everytime.
oh.... and a quad core phenom would be better than a 6 core for the dolphin emu because yes, it only utilizes 2 cores. so, id recommend going for a cpu with the biggest cache sizes and fastest clock speed. after overclocking mine i can now play mario kart wii on 2 player mode with a slight amount of unused cpu on the two cores utilized by dolphin. so... if you want to play some games at 100% you need at least a 4.0 ghz cpu. 06-23-2010, 02:09 AM
Without a doubt the Core i7, since you will be overclocking the Core i7 will perform better in dolphin than the X6. Unfortunately Intel's current products perform better per clock than AMD's so the only time you should buy an AMD CPU is when you plan on spending the equivilent of a Phenom II 550 or less (Don't know what that is in USD ^_^). Everything higher and the Intel equivilent usually is much better than the AMD CPU. It's a shame but at this current point in time AMD can't really compete with Intel's high end.

I find that difficult to believe, if it's true, then there must seriously be something seriously wrong with your friends PC. Even my Core2Duo which is over a year old now can outperform the latest AMD Phenom clock for clock in single core and dual core benchmarks and applications. A Core i7 should be much better clock for clock than my Core2Duo E8500 in Single/Dual/Quad core benchmarks and applications. A Core i7 is also able to run the software rendering backend in Gsdx for PCSX2 at full speed, full speed in most if not all games for Dolphin is possible with a Core i7 and decent video hardware. Can't beat the performance offered by the Core i7 and it has great overclocking potential to back it up.
"AMD can't really compete with Intel's high end. "
lets not make war here ...but intel high end means 800$+ in crash. how many ppl can afford that money for just cpu?and plus just to play dolphin?come on... person with that budget probably have 5xnintendo wii's sitting paired with 5 huge plazma screens over walls,and no one to play with it... and i cannot agreed that price justify the result. in any time of day given i would by phenom x4 BE555 3.1 ghz over anything else for 180$,and there is no possible game which would say its slow for next 4-5 years! but hey its just me who actually thinks about money spending... 280$ for i7 920 with 2.6 hz is extreeme. how about by phenom x4 and for those 100$ extra buy a 2xpairs of nunchuks with wiimotes?

" High end is the entire LGA 1366 range, THAT is intel's enthusiast/high end motherboard socket, LGA 1156 is Intel's mainstream/low end socket. The Core i7 range is from £200 to £800 NOT just the Core i7 980X. The sad thing is even on multithreaded tasks the Core i7 range sometimes beats AMD's 6 core CPU's. Just look at the benchmarks here and here. You're being incredibly AMD biased. While it may seem I'm being Intel biased I back my claims up with benchmarks from trusted sources.

Honestly...if he oced his i7 to 3.8ghz it will out perform your phenom and in my hands it would be over 4ghz easy. Even my current e8500 at 4.3ghz would be beat your phenom. I'm not biased towards a brand for I owned a Athlon and a Opteron when AMD was faster, cheaper, and more efficient then Intel.

Athlon XP was a great CPU in the old times(better than Pentium IV) but now intel is making better cpus (AMD is not bad anyway, but intel is better in this moment). Good luck. Chuck Approves |
