Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Got stock results for Kaveri from my friend "yawa" over at overclock.net...though not until after he trolled for a bit by literally saying "what is this not overclock thing you speak of?" (LINK) and therefore proved my point about OCN being in it mostly for the overclocking.

CPU: AMD "Kaveri" A10-7850K @ 3.7GHz (Turbo disabled)
OS: Windows 8.1

Thing is: I don't care about overclocked results because overclocking adds so many dimensions to the problem that the results become meaningless. That, combined with the fact that it attracts the worst population of people trying to optimize for a benchmark when the point is just to know how well a given CPU performs, makes me waste a lot of time for results that are not interesting.

Wait, you're not mistaking the new 3.7GHz Kaveri result as an overclocked result, are you? 3.7GHz is Kaveri's stock clock...

I exited Dolphin, as it seemed to take forever. May it be related to my problems with Twilight Princess in recent builds?

Actually, the true reason is that your CPU is too slow.

It could, its the same black magic running below the surface as in Desktop Dolphin. However, it seems the benchmark uses stuff yet unsupported by the ARM Interpreter and JITs, so the thing immediately stops (I posted this earlier on after trying it on my Note 2014; along with the info that current buildbot APKs are broken).

I literally can't pick it as a option to run it. I picked it but it won't start it nor will it show up on my game list.

Also you're wrong about the Buildbot apk's being broken. I believe they got fixed 2 weeks ago.

Uh, I just slept for about 8 hours only to find that the Kaveri result is still not on the chart even though delroth made a post right after said Kaveri result...

Am I missing something here? The result wasn't overclocked...

Strange how people with old dual cores, beat my and others old quad cores cpus.
That benchmark makes me wonder how hard must be to emulate the tri-core processor 1.24 GHz of Wii U.

What's the point in not caring about OC results, given that some games can be played perfectly with an OC, and can't be without, even on the best CPUs availbale? It's a legitimate option for people looking to build a system for Dolphin, and with enough tests, any variances in the results should balance out.
