Is AMD Athlon x3 455 @ 3.3Ghz better than Core 2 Duo e7400 @ 2.8 Ghz for Dolphin?

I say this again : Dolphin only use 2 cores (another 1 core for LLE )
And no no no , Bulldozer is the nightmare for dolphin . Get Phenom II 965 instead (Google "Faildozer")

His GMA x4500 will bottle neck (slowdown) his CPU . Anything below Intel HD 3000 isn't capable of running the lowest res 1x(480p)
Wind waker and ssbb need very low sys-requirement ....
And what's the point of Dolphin if you can't run game at 720p/1080p or even more than 1080p
