No, but, if you follow this guide (there's no specific guide on this, iirc), you will be able to play something like wind waker:

Step 1: Use XAudio
Step 2: Abandon any pretense of using LLE. Find the game.ini file for wind waker (I believe it's GZLE01), and remove "usehle=false".
Step 3: While you're at it, disable the forcing of EFB to RAM.
Step 4: In the dolphin settings, set audio to HLE and set EFB to texture.

Now your game will run at nearly full speed. It'll look worse, sound worse, and even freeze sometimes, but it's playable now.

Heck, just to be thorough:

Step 5: All AMD CPUs since the introduction of Phenom II (probably earlier) can be overclocked in SOME manner, even if it's not the multiplier-based overclocking that people who've never overclocked an AMD processor think is the only kind of overclocking. So, slap some extra clocks on that baby. Only some, though.

I got my gimped Phenom II (no L3, smaller L2, two less cores, clock rate reduced) up ~1.0 GHz and went from around what you're getting right now to full speed all of the time in wind waker with those settings, so, if you shoot for ~700 MHz more, you should be good to go. Just remember not to want to play Twilight Princess and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!!. I swear, the two rips I gave care to save from the OS switch purge with wind waker after I lost almost all of my discs and they can't even run full-speed on my computer...
