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
Quote:in price comparison this processor is a great choice.
i5 3570k is also cheaper than FX-8350 (170$ vs 200$) , i7 3770k cost 230$
i5 3570k and i7 3770k perform the same 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

Quote: would't be better 3770k overclocked at 4.5ghz?Yes, but other factors come into play like power supply and temperature.
Quote: zelda twighlight needs a hack for disable minimap and fix Ilia's scent issue, but seems the dolphin developers is not caring about
hacks for speed improvements.
The emulator will most likely get slower as newer revisions come out, hacks can speed stuff but they do so by breaking other stuff, your best bet is to just get the most powerful piece of hardware available or just buy a wii.
