It should be easy to verify on Dolphin, by disabling dual-core mode, no?

My 2¢ Skylake is memory bandwidth limited when using 4 cores. But that headline won't get you clicks.

I'm pretty sure I read something Fiora wrote somewhere saying Haswell can get instruction starved pretty easily in Dolphin, so if memory can't always keep up in Haswell, even when all that's needed is the relatively small executable code, it's understandable that it might be even worse in Skylake in something that might also be pulling loads of data from RAM to work on, too.

yeah, dolphin is extremely heavy on that memory stuff, as I remember from my testing a while ago. There have been a lot of things done to improve speed in the calculation side of things but I don't really know how much has been put into lowering the frequency that dolphin needs to dive into memory, since I'm not incredibly knowledgable on recent changes or focus in development.
in a perfect world we would all be piles of sand with no ability to form coherent bodies of body

I think in the same place Fiora said that in a lot of cases it was actually better to just make Dolphin's JIT spit out shorter code than what looks to be heavily optimised code (even in the ideal situation where the actual recompilation and optimisation happens instantly and it's the execution of the JIT's output that takes all the time) or something similarly extreme.

OK so as many of you know I'm in the process of building an amd computer at a tight budget, here is the build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JHBQbv My friends are trying to make me use the a10 7850k, but from what I've seen the athlon x4 860k is basically the a10 without integrated graphics. Am I right or am I just an idiot. 08-24-2015, 02:56 PM
