I doubt it . It's an ultra low voltage CPU hence why you have the "u" character there
These CPU will run at low speed to keep the temperature and power down . The maximum speed is 3.0GHz which is true but at that speed , only 1 core is active !
You better check CPU speed with realtemp . Keep in mind that these laptops are not gaming laptops , these laptop can not withstand heat due to bad cooling units (only 1 fan)
Quote: nvidia 920m with 4 gigs of ddr5
GT 920M is low end , no way dell can equip GDDR5 for this GPU
It's DDR3 actually . Memory Bandwidth is only about 14.40 GB/s . For 720p or lower resolution , it's ok . Not so good , not so terrible either
Btw , here is performance guide for laptop

dude it can play games well and the u is a real processor and it plays games good the nvidia 920m can play alot of the games i have except some of the recent games like batman arkham knight but still it has 4 cores cause its a core i7 processor and i can play my games ok i played it last night and it worked ok and i was able to play the emulator on it.

but is there a way u guys can make dolphin work better on lower end computers and laptops cause that would be great cause the pcsx2 can work fine on my laptop but the dolphin emulator works fine

So then why did you come onto the forums and ask if your laptop was good for Dolphin if you didn't want to hear the answer?

"Making it better for low end PCs" sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about with regards to emulation or how programming works in general.

Being able to play PC games has no direct correlation to Dolphin. PC games require a strong GPU and really any type of CPU. Dolphin requires a really strong CPU and a moderately fast GPU.
While your 920m isn't horrible, it's still pretty shitty compared to really any other GPU that isn't from Intel. For Dolphin, you probably can't get past 1x-1.5x IR enhancement.

That has nothing to do with emulator .Quiet a lot of PC out there can play PC games well but still struggle with Dolphin
and btw your CPU is a dual core processor .

No it doesn't. All ULV versions of Core i7 have only 2 cores...
