Dolphin on the pi 4?

Everyone keeps talking about the GPU. The A72 runs hotter than the previous A53, so even with cooling, your ability to overclock (and do it effectively) is cut back. Given Dolphin's pretty CPU heavy, and just about every SoC running Dolphin eventually runs into thermal throttling issues, I don't see why it should be dismissed so easily.

From what I've seen, a lot of heat sinks don't ultimately prevent the Pi3 from reaching 80C, but they do slow down the time it takes to reach that temp. You need fans or fans + heat sink to get temps below 80C under full load.

It's not really being dismissed, it's just that active cooling is something 99.9% of all computers need to run something like dolphin at playable speeds, it's an expected cost that has been there for raspberry pi 3 as well, so the community should expect it.
