' Wrote:See any Core 13 there? No? Well guess what, it as too slowThis one made me laugh. Ill get to why in a moment. First of all that's not something to get too excited about. It's a benchmark to show the multi threaded performance of a cpu. There really isn't much reason to run this bench on a dual core processor except to place it on a list. There is no i3 on there because it is irrelevant. Most people don't buy dual core processors to get highly multi threaded performance. Also, and why it made me laugh, it is the same benchmark as the first pic you posted just with less processors on it. Notice how the scores are the same for the processors that are listed. So there being no core i3 on it is even more meaningless.
' Wrote:Even the FX 8150 overruns a CPU worth 40$ more than the FX itself, but it sure is somewhat worse, because it is AMDWhere did you find this benchmark. There are several different versions of the x264 benchmark but all the ones I've seen show the 3570 slightly beating the 8150. Regardless the fact that an 8 core cpu isn't absolutely stomping a quad core cpu in a benchmark that has been shown to scale to multiple cores exceptionally well is quite telling. Add to that the higher power requirements and that $40 is probably negligible.
If however a user wants to encode x264 video and run benchmarks amd cpus are quite competitive. The fx 6300 is quite competitive in its price range regardless of what the user wants to do though it uses more power and isn't as good at gaming, especially dolphin. All this is kind of a mute point though since the original topic was about getting better performance in dolphin. To that end, as already stated, Intel beats Amd at every price point.
