[Unofficial] New Dolphin 5.0 CPU benchmark - results automatically updated!

[SiggySmilez]

Hey Guys, thank you for sharing your data.

On a buyer perspective i am wondering how i could use the results for buying decision?

obv the lower the time the faster the cpu, but do i really need that 7 min benchmark time? Or is that an overkill and a CPU that does job in 15min is also fast enough for playing GC games like Soul Calibur 2?

Just submitted my 7980xe run, got 4m 33s. Not too shabby.

I've just submitted two.

How long would this test take on a real Wii?

To the person that submitted results from the ARM CPU in the Surface X, I've had to delete the result because it was not benchmarked on Dolphin 5.0 stable (it instead used a recent development version)

Yes this benchmark uses an old version of Dolphin, but we need to use a single consistent version in order for results to actually be comparable between different CPUs - this is meant to be a benchmark of the relative capabilities of how well various CPUs can handle emulation workloads in general, not a benchmark of how well Dolphin itself can run on a given CPU (since actual absolute performance tends to be slower).

And since newer versions of Dolphin perform better, it would give the impression of your CPU's emulation capabilities are better compared to other CPUs than they really are.

According to Anandtech, around 1050 seconds. However, this is a bit misleading since this homebrew benchmark application tends to perform considerably better than actual games do in Dolphin. So even if your CPU gets a score that's 3 times faster than a real Wii console, you're unlikely to actually get such performance when running retail GameCube and Wii games in Dolphin.

Hmm, this seems wrong (AMD Ryzen 7 5800x), I'll test more later.



Edit: Looks like someone else got similar results with a 5600X so I guess that's just how it goes.

Hi, figured I'd register and upload a result for an AMD 5800X. Note that this is in ECO mode, because it runs at a flat 90C on full turbo. Until I sort out the cooling problem, I'm backing it off a bit, so this is more or less the result you'd get with a hypothetical 5700X.

This is with very good, DDR4-3600, 16-16-16-36-1T RAM:



edit: brought the image inline. Sorry, I'd have done that before, but the post wasn't visible until recently.

second edit: slight wording change, added DDR spec.
