I have experience in programming and intel cna't divide your program into 4 threads for you without screwing up the whole application. It has to be coded for more cores/threads so that it can support them. What intel seems to have mote of is cache as far as i know. And comparig a i-2500k to a x4 955 isn't fair since there is a 120 dollar difference plus i-2500k is almost a 8 core so you would have to compare to a 8 core amd processor.what are you talking about ? I5 2320/2500/2500k is 4cores 4 threads CPU (No Hyper Threading)
As fpr temperature, i thought 50 was highest but everyone here is saying 60. Ill check tomorrow to see the temperature it runs dolphin at. Ill probably just edit this post here but if dolpin only uses 2 cores then it shouldn't be much higher cause last i remember, crysis uses 4 cores but that might be 2 not 1
See :

I7 2600/2600k/2700k is 4 cores 8threads . Hyper Threading doesn't work with dolphin anyway
Phenom II can't beat Core 2 duo series (2 cores vs 2 cores , Dolphin only uses 2) . Phenom II won't stand a chance against i3 first gen (i3 530)
