Quote:Is it that a i7 is so much better then an amd?
Yes.
Quote: I'm running at 1 gig faster?
1 GHz higher*
Gig is shorthand for gigabyte.
Quote:Or does a 64 bit os really make the difference, assuming thats what he is running it on.
It does. It's about 15-30% usually depending on the game.
Quote:I think 8 CPU's means 8 cores, but again, does Dolphin even use that?
No. Dolphin only uses two threads.
Quote:So what does this guy do that is so special?
1. His system is better than yours.
2. He's exaggerating his performance a bit. Like admin said I doubt he's getting fullspeed all the time with LLE audio. Maybe in certain games with LLE on thread.
3. Neither of you have provided a list of games. Some games are a lot more demanding than other. For all we know he might be running games that aren't very demanding.
