That is incorrect. An overclocked i3/i5/i7 can run hyrule field at fullspeed late game if the speed hack is used. In old revisions it can even do it without the speed hack. I have seen it personally when I was working with jads on a benchmarking project a few months ago.
Quite true, I made a custom build for NV with the ZTP speedhack, I believe it was r5874. I tested with and without the speed hack on my overclocked i7, without the speed hack I got about 33 FPS - 35 FPS on the slowest Hyrule Field, with the speed hack I got about 45 FPS - 50 FPS.
I have an i7 950 that was overclocked to 4.2 Ghz, I have since dropped it to 3.8 Ghz and lowered voltages to decrease temps though.
The latest Dolphin revisions have gotten quite slow compared to the late 5xxx revisions, now I get 22 FPS without the speed hack. Latest revisions also have a very bad stuttering issue with most games, really annoying. Not cool that Neobrain pulled a prank and claimed his last revision gave 20% speedup especially when regressions have cause quite a bit of slowdowns in newer revisions and everyone is waiting for someone to fix these damned speed/performance issues that the newer revisions caused.
Same thing happened between the 4xxx and 5xxx revisions, everything got slower and everyone thought that was bad. Now my i7 system is having trouble keeping up, where it was doing just fine. Are more (worse) slowdowns to be expected between the 6xxx and 7xxx revisions and so forth?
