Quote:Is it good I believe the xeon is similar in performance to a I7Yeah but an outdated i7 (4 ->5 years old) not latest i7 . It's too old
Since Dolphin is a dual core application . A latest i3 4130 @ 3.4GHz (Stock) outperforms last gen i5 3570k @ 4.2GHz(Overclocked) in Dolphin Benchmark . That Xeon performance is far behind the latest i3 in Dolphin
Most people tend to believe that i7 is stronger than i5 and much much stronger than i3 but that is only correct if you compare both CPUs on the same generation . Don't forget that newer generation i3/i5/i7 are faster than older generation !
