I wonder if upgrading from i5 to i7 will have major impact on the games that run on dolphin. I'm just curious. Thanks.

If they're equivalent chips (from the same generation with similar clock rates and cache) then you'll get no improvement, and potentially may even lose performance due to hyperthreading making certain things go slower.
OS: Windows 10 64 bit Professional
CPU: Intel i5 4670K @3.4GHz... for now @4.6GHz with a quick and dirty (yet stable) OC. May get faster in a bit before the end of time.
RAM: 16GB (Down from 24 GB after some was given to siblings)
GPU: Radeon Vega 56

That makes me wonder. How would disabling hyperthreading on an i7 compare with it's counterpart i5?

He knew that. He was wondering what would happen if one were to disable HT on an i7 to make it into an i5 (without removing the extra cache etc).

So I disabled hyperthreading on my 4770k and tried the Dolphin CPU benchmark test and Dolphin crashed. Not sure why that is. With HT it's perfectly fine though.

The largest difference you will see between the two is maybe 1-2%, and that's pushing it, and you'd never notice that anyway..
