Dolphin uses 2 cores + 1 (LLE on thread)
Starcraft 2 uses 2 cores as well
You should look at SC2 benchmark or single threaded benchmark when it come to Dolphin

Piledriver , not bulldozer
I5 3470 beat all piledriver CPU by a mile (Dolphin only) and it's much cheaper

When you pair i5 3470 with Asrock Z77 mobo (Pro 3 , Pro 4 , Extreme 3 , Extreme 4 , Extreme 6) , you can overclock non "k" - i5 3470 to 3.9GHz
i5 3570k is also cheaper than FX-8350 (170$ vs 200$) , i7 3770k cost 230$
i5 3570k and i7 3770k have the same performance on Dolphin , i5 3570k (stock speed) blow FX-8350 away from earth and it can be overclocked to 4.4GHz or higher
FX-8350 is a good choice for multi-threaded apps or video encoding . Not so good for gaming
