Hi again,
I seen that Intel now has released another generation of Xeon CPUs (the W-1200 series), and I'm wondering if it would be worth upgrading my current E-2176G for Dolphin. The GPU in my system is an Gigabyte GTX 1650 4GB. Here is the comparison of the specs from my current CPU to the new one I was looking at:
Current:
Xeon E-2176G (basically an i7-8700K with ECC support and without overclocking)
6 cores / 12 threads
4.3Ghz all core turbo up to 4.7Ghz single core - The cores mostly run around 4.4Ghz with Dolphin running.
80W TDP
New:
Xeon W-1290P (basically equivalent to an i9-10900K without overclocking)
10 cores / 20 threads
4.9Ghz turbo up to 5.3Ghz
125W TDP
Also, is there a good test to see if my system can handle emulating any game (like the most demanding game that I can try to run)? I have Super Mario Galaxy 1/2 but wasn't sure if there was anything more demanding.
Thanks in advance!
