Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Well this is interesting:

EDIT: I just realized that the results use minutes in decimals rather than minuteseconds.

Ian Cutress @ AnandTech Wrote:Console Emulation –Dolphin Benchmark: link

At the start of 2014 I was emailed with a link to a new emulation benchmark based on the Dolphin Emulator. The issue with emulators tends to be two-fold: game licensing and raw CPU power required for the emulation. As a result, many emulators are often bound by single thread CPU performance, and general reports tended to suggest that Haswell provided a significant boost to emulator performance. This benchmark runs a Wii program that raytraces a complex 3D scene inside the Dolphin Wii emulator. Performance on this benchmark is a good proxy of the speed of Dolphin CPU emulation, which is an intensive single core task using most aspects of a CPU. Results are given in minutes, where the Wii itself scores 17.53; meaning that anything above this is faster than an actual Wii for processing Wii code, albeit emulated.



Emulation is a pure single threaded affair, and the IPC improvements of Haswell stand out a lot against the Ivy Bridge-E based Xeons.

(and in no way did I find this extra interesting seeing how I was the person in question that emailed Ian about the Dolphin benchmark, that'd be crazy talk)

Yeah...

delroth won't do that, based on what he said to users who submitted results from their OCed CPU's.

EDIT: Oh wait, did he actually? I'm sorry lol

would be cool if it didnt always crash :/

also off topic, whats with dial up server speeds? all download from here (benchmark aswell as master branch downloads) are downloading at 30KB/s :/

Does it also happen with the "streamlined" version of the benchmark that is linked in my signature?

That's actually about 5 times faster than dial-up.

But everything is downloading fine over here in Northeast Ohio, I'm getting my full bandwidth allocation of ~350 KB/s without any fancy multi-chunk downloading.

AnandTech has used the Dolphin benchmark again, though showing the exact same results as before. The main difference is that they were testing a new Kaveri mobo and therefore we have extra information on their testing platform.

Not anymore, got a new record from "mav451" over at OCN - twice in fact. The first was the new record for a couple hours until kkjdroid beat it, but exactly an hour ago mav451 managed to get an even faster time and reclaim the top spot.

+1 Sec is still within the margin of error. I want to get it to exactly 23 Seconds just to beat you again lol^^

Whoever did this is my hero now.

It was Nintendo Maniac 64, wasn't it?
