Thinking of upgrading my CPU.

Quote:I also have a hard time believing this 30% faster claim. If we were comparing the Core 2 Quad with a first gen i7 I'd believe it. If we were comparing a gen i7 to a 6 core Haswell I'd believe it.

But Ivy to Haswell, no way.

Forget your logic , forget everything you know ! We are talking about Dolphin and how non-sense it can be
Sandy Bridge is up to 20% faster than Nehalem in most apps , right ? In Dolphin Benchmark , i5 750 @ 3.7GHz outperforms i7 2600k @ 3.4GHz . So the difference is like 5% or even less
As you can see in the benchmark , i3 4130 @ 3.4GHz beats i5 3570k @ 4.4GHz by a few seconds. If the difference is not 30% then what is it ?
Apparently , the new unlocked dual core Pentium Haswell G3258 has been tested as well . Then again , Pentium Haswell @ 4.5GHz beats i7 4770k @ 4.3GHz by a few seconds
