First of all hi to all and many congratulations for the emu Smile !

There is any hope to have a Dolphin version optimized on quad core?

Not necessarily.
With more cores, you have to check to make sure that threads aren't getting out of sync which can lead to more overhead which can slow down the process overall.
Then there's the fact that Quad Core CPU's are generally slower than their Dual Core counterparts.

Not nessecarily better, but it will take up less cpu power on the core it is currently running on. The idea is to have each process that takes up cpu power, Audio, Video, and the Core, and put them on their own core, therefore optimizing the most amount of cpu power because everything has its own core

Problem though is that with each core, you'll have more and more overhead for having to keep the cores in sync which will affect the speed and also quad cores are typically clocked at a slower speed compared to their dual core counterparts.
