There are single threaded benchmark and multi-threaded benchmark . A certain CPU performs well with multi threaded application doesn't mean that CPU can do the same with single-threaded performance . Passmark lump them all together . Therefore , Passmark is stupid
FX 8350 outperforms i5 3570k in multi-threaded application . Obviously , 8 cores 8 threads vs 4 cores 4 threads
However , Dolphin is a dual core application .
Not a good example but :
Imagine :
FX 8350 is like "8 normal person" , i5 3570k is like "4 strong person"
8np vs 4sp -> 8p win but it's not an easy fight (FX 8350 is not a true 8 cores CPU . Infact , it's still slower than i7 3770k 4 cores 8 threads)
Dolphin performance is like :
2np vs 2sp -> 2sp win easily
Btw , you can look at Starcraft 2 benchmark . SCII is a dual core application
