Uh, no. As far as I know the Starlet is a small ARM core to take care of loading/unloading titles/IOSes and do some security checks, also referred as I/O Brigde. These things are HLE'd in Dolphin, so, the game processing is done in the Broadway, the CPU, emulated by Dolphin in his own thread...

Dolphin only uses two cores (or three if you enable DSP on dedicated thread), no matter what you do, and this has already been discussed thousand of times. If you're getting better performance with all 6 cores enabled then it's something else, likely to be your CPU running in high performance mode only when all cores are enabled...

I am aware of this which I was I thought my results were strange. But nothing else changed in my config beside disabling/enabling cores on my cpu. Maybe it has something to do with the way AMD cpu's share resources among cores, I really don't know. Just wanted to share my findings. Would like to have an 8 core FX cpu to test with if and see if that scaled the same way.
