Yes you can run many games fine with an AMD cpu in dolphin but you can run even more better without having to spend way more money going Intel. Especially if you are using a laptop where AMD can't compensate for their poor performance with more wattage like they do with desktop, that combo is the worst you can have in dolphin.
Yeah I aggree with you too that Intel is outperforming an Amd cpu but cost efficiency. Sure they will outperform because you pay for it nearly double. But new revisions I see that optimising emulation is getting better and this is good news for us as Amd owners who loves to play wii games on PC platform.
Here is a dolphin benchmark for you: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPU/1027
Amd's clocked to the max AMD FX-9590 220 Watt cpu is a bit slower than the lowly clocked old 2600k 95 Watt intel cpu, never mind the newer models. That amd cpu costs 240 $ : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113347
With the same price you get a 4690K which is more than 50% faster in dolphin and spends 130 less Watts to work! Now give me a good reason to suggest AMD for dolphin if you can http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372
