I have recently seen information that says that the GameCube's processor, the Gekko, was based on the PowerPC 7xx family; these processors were used in the Power Macintosh G3 computers. Is it possible that using the Dolphin interpreter on a Power Mac G3, G4, or G5 is actually faster than using the recompiler, because the physical processors and emulated processors are essential the same?
Dolphin is coded for x86 processors.
The interpreter would surely not be faster.
I would think a JIT has potential to be faster, but it would have to be completely rewritten.
