i5 has 4 cores 4 threads , i7 and that Xeon have 4 cores 8 threads
Dolphin is a dual core application . So anything besides Dolphin and single threaded applications will gain huge speed boost from 8 threads
Thanks admin89. I will be using this build purely for gaming purposes. I'm a graphic designer and I have a separate machine for my work. Now if xeon would give me more PC gaming performance then I might consider it a better option. Will an i5-4690 3.5 ghz give me less performance than Xeon 1230v3 3.3ghz when running dolphin or other PC games? I read somewhere that 4670 or 4690 would be ideal for running dolphin? I'm sorry if I'm asking irritating questions but I'd just like to be informative about everything before going for the new build.
