In other words, even if Dolphin threads ends landing exclusively on E-Cores, they still should provide enough performance to run anything you can throw at Dolphin at fullspeed...
It's possible that it's just the games I choose to play (or the way I choose to play them!) but even on 10th gen in the past on another computer I've used I've had hitches/slowdown spikes occasionally.
I'm one of those weirdos though who prefers 45fps completely locked to 60fps with even 1 hitch because those hitches don't happen on console.
I didn't know that about the E-Cores though, I always thought Dolphin was extremely heavy on the CPU but again, might just be my bias because I've never really had a flawless emulation experience using it.
