.....oh dear.....more errors to correct.
No it isn't. Logical cores are basically another term for virtual cores. They are abstract cores created by the OS to handle threading.
Correct.
Nope. Modern intel and amd cpus usually have about the same amount of cache. A 2500K has lass total L3 + l2 cache space than a phenom II 955. Although having a bigger cache does not necessarily improve application performance.
Correct but we're not trying to compare them in performance per dollar (although you seem to be trying to do that for some reason).
Uh.....no. They are both quad core cpus. The 2500K doesn't even have HT let alone 8 cores.
*laughs a little bit*
50C and 60C are both quite low for a modern cpu. Call us when it passes 80C, that's when you should start getting worried.
Just because crysis uses 4 cores does not mean it produces a constant high load on those 4 cores. Dolphin puts a constant high load on two of your cores while you're playing a game and is likely more demanding on your cpu overall than crysis.

Quote: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.
Correct.
Quote:What intel seems to have mote of is cache as far as i know.

Quote:And comparig a i-2500k to a x4 955 isn't fair since there is a 120 dollar difference

Quote: plus i-2500k is almost a 8 core so you would have to compare to a 8 core amd processor.

Quote: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.

Quote: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
