I am currently using an Intel Core i5-2410M and am wondering how big of a speed boost I would get if I upgraded to an Intel Core i7-2630QM? I understand Dolphin doesn't really support more than two cores, but any help is appreciated. My gpu is an AMD Radeon hd 6330M and I have 6gb of ram.

No, there won't be a huge speed boost. It'll be very minor infact.
Which games are you having speed issues with?

It does. If you use LLE, with LLE on Thread enabled, Dolphin will use three cores.

As long as you keep it running cool and turbo boost work correctly :
i5 2410M @ 2.6GHz (2 cores active)
i7 2630QM @ 2.8GHz (2 cores active)
You can gain small speed up from dual core -> quad core and the i7 has more cache (6M vs 3M)
Download "Realtemp" to check your current CPU clock speed when running dolphin . Turbo boost won't work if your CPU overheat

Btw

This GPU will bottleneck any CPU you pair it with . It's too weak even if you use lowest settings (1x Internal Resolution - 480p , no AA , 1x AF)

You can't maintain fullspeed in Xenoblade with that config (I got a similar config)

EDIT: @admin with VBeam I got 20-25 max Tongue
