Dolphin CPU hierarchy [UNOFFICIAL]

Quote:I'm using an Athlon II x4 750k and its single threaded performance is better than the Phenom II 965

Base on Dolphin Benchmar . It's abit slower than Phenom x4 955 @ 3.2GHz though . Phenom x4 965 @ 3.4GHz is a little faster than Phenom 955
Quite close but definitely not better
We all know Bulldozer is downgraded phenom II or Athlon II with more cores and Piledriver is Phenom II with more cores .

Why would say a 2.83ghz Q9550 @ 3.83 ghz be in in the Fast range while a core i3 is in the Very fast range? let alone a stock clocked Q9550?

Dude, come on, you've been around long enough to know that by know. Dolphin relies on single-core speeds, and each newer generation improves single-core speeds.

An i3-4340 is clocked at 3.6 Ghz, and will run most games totally fine. (and probably kick an overclocked Q9550's butt)

wait it can't use more than 1 core O_0? doesn't the wii have more than core? wth? also in that case it isn't just speed it's architecture and IPC, aka how much work it can get don per clock.

also keep in mind Delphine aside an OCed Q9550 special those paired with DDR3 are on pare with with lower end of the spectrum i5s. It can actually support a GTX780 with very little bottle neck.

i'd should try and put the screws to it since i have it paired with a GTX480. any game suggestions?

i'd also like to try give my 4.0ghz a 1100T a go but, i'm limited with my HD4850s till i can upgrade my GPU.

Dolphin is a dual core application . However there are only 2 main benchmarks : Single threaded benchmark and multi threaded benchmark . You can't use multi threaded benchmark to judge Dolphin performance . That's why he said :

Quote:Dolphin relies on single-core speeds

Base on Dolphin Benchmark
i3 4130 @ 3.4GHz is on par with i5 3570k @ 4.4GHz or i5 2500k @ 4.5GHz . Your OCed Q9550 doesn't stand a chance

is there a way to run the bench mark on my machine?

You're free to join
We have 2 benchmark :
_Benchmark without game (New)
_Zelda WW Benchmark (Old)

how did it do?

The "i3 4130" was mentioned what about older i3s?
Why doesn't Dolphin use more than 1 core that seems counter productive.

[garrlker]

Dolphin doesn't use 1 core. It uses 2 cores or 3 cores if you have LLE on thread enabled. The reason dolphin only uses 2-3 cores is because after that point adding support for more cores won't add performance and in almost all cases(if not all) will decrease performance significantly.

Depends on the model of the i3. That desktop i3 could demolish my laptop into the ground. Generally the newer the model the better the performance.
