Quote:i3 is only two real cores 6300 is 3 cores
It's called "module" for AMD side and "Hyper Threading" for Intel side .
Quote:Higher clock isn't the most important thing to calculate CPU power . A Pentium D dual core @ 3.0GHz can't beat a core 2 dou @ 1.8GHz due to lower IPC
and has hifgóógher clock.
Overall , FX 6300/FX 6350 and A10 6800k are better choice for Dolphin because you can overclock those CPUs to get more performance but you can't overclock the i3 and non-k Haswell i5 (you can overclock i5 3570k , non-k Ivy Bridge , i5 4670k )
Of course , i recommend FX 6300/FX 6350 and A10 6800k over any i3 . FX 6300/8150/8350 vs i5 3350P/3570k/4670k is another story though
