I dont have money to buy new board and then switch to intel
It's cheaper to buy an Intel haswell cpu and motherboard than an FX 9370. So if you can afford one you can afford the other.
Cheaper faster options are available from Intel. We're just trying to give you the best advice on what hardware works best with dolphin.

They release new i5 cpus every year....
Lumbeeslayer Wrote:and you saying 5gz fx 9590 which was same price as an i7 Xtreme at launch cant beat an 3ghz i5 non K edition.
In this workload yes. They're grossly overpriced in general but especially for this type of workload which the microarchtiecture is not ideal for.

It's not dolphins fault that AMDs engineers made the design decisions they made.
Lumbeeslayer Wrote:So my question is unasked so basically the FX 9590 Instructions per cycle is worse for dolphin compared to my Phenom II x4 960T @ 4.3ghz?
IPC is very very close. Slightly lower. But by so little that its basically negligible. The FX 9590 would be faster for dolphin but only by about 10-15% at stock. Which equates to about an extra 5 fps. And since the TDP is already 220watts out of the box there is almost no room for further overclocking.

They are literally the exact same chips as the 8000 series. Just overclocked higher and sold at a higher price without a stock cooler (since AMD stock coolers aren't good enough to handle the massive amount of heat these things generate at stock).

For the most part I agree. But if you want top of line performance for workstation applications without buying even more expensive server hardware the E series is still a viable option.
