Improper CPU detection

[Motu88]

I have been experiencing some odd slowness with Dolphin on my PC for a while. Some of the same games that ran perfectly on my old Core 2 Duo E8400 with a Radeon HD4870 are having issues on my i5 3570K with an Nvidia GTX 660ti. Today though, I just happened to notice that when I started LoZ Twilight Princess, my CPU was recognized as having 4 physical cores but 8 logical threads. My CPU is an i5 3570K, which doesn't have hyperthreading, so it should say that it is 4 physical cores with one logical thread per core. I think the slow down might have to do with Dolphin trying to run on one core despite me having dual-core enabled.

I've searched and found a couple of issues similar to this, but there were no solutions.

Can someone clarify if this would be what's causing the slowness? Also, is there a way to make Dolphin correctly detect my CPU?

It's been well known for years now that the yellow text does not usually display correct hardware information. But this should not effect your performance in any way nor does it reflect what dolphin actually detects. Your thread scheduling is being managed by the OS anyways so this is irrelevant to your conclusion.

I have no idea what's causing the slowness since you have not listed any pertinent details.
