im looking to upgrade my cpu, im using an Alienware Alpha i3 base model and though it runs Dolphin just fine, i want to see if upgrading the cpu would help in the long run.
this is my specs.
Processor: 2.9GHz Intel Core i3-4130T (dual-core, 3MB cache)
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M (custom, 2GB GDDR5) (Equal to Nvidia GTX 750 TI)
Memory: 8GB DDR3 (1600Mhz)
now since the alpha can only efficiently use the T series of intel cpu i wanted to upgrade to a i5-4570T, which doesnt seem like a big upgrade however it can go up to 3.6GHz turbo speed which i hear can help alot with emulation. but is it a significant boost to worth buying?
also i do use the alpha on other emulators as well, just mostly dolphin.
