Yeah I don't know where the OP is getting that info. from. Tomshardware shows the FX-8150 losing to both a 2500K and 1100T (both of which cost less, consume less power, and run cooler) in after effects:
An FX-8120 should be about 10-15% slower than an FX-8150

I mean, are there things I should do to get better speeds? I just want to know what I can do to get better speeds with my processor, not a lecture on what processor is better... I've heard it before and honestly I'm extremely happy with this processor. It runs great and I get a 7.6 WEI score. And that's limited by my SSD, my processor, ram, graphics all rank 7.9. Is there a way though that I can make Dolphin use more cores, or otherwise make Windows distribute the load more evenly or something? 12-07-2011, 01:14 PM

And no.Dolphin will always use 2 cores(plus another if you use LLE audio).

What the hell does "lump cores together" mean?

Your processor is a bad choice for dolphin (and not only) compared to what else is there in the market. I suggest you sooner than later to deal with it. Nevertheless there are some settings that can help you maximize your performance in Dolphin. DX9 is the fastest backend of the three if you want speed btw so use that. And post your graphic settings so that people can help you. (12-07-2011, 01:21 PM)CPCookieMan Wrote:(12-07-2011, 01:14 PM)YouHaveRROD Wrote: >Implying WEI means anything. He means making two cores work as one so dolphin uses them both "without knowing". And no that's not possible, in fact the idea is pretty absurd.

In other words having two cores processing the same thread simultaneously?
