I just swapped from i5 480M (2.9GHz) to i5 560M (3.2GHz) .
Well , it's a free chip from another laptop . So it thought I should give it a try
And the result is ...no improvement whatsoever . 300MHz does not make any difference at all I see...
Top of the line mobile i7 4910MQ @ 3.9GHz (overclock-able to 4.1GHz ) is only $300 atm . If it was a bit cheaper ...
Anyway , I think I should wait a year or two for my next upgrade
I hope it will be good (i7 4700MQ @ 3.4GHz -> i7 4910MQ @ 4.1GHz)
There will be no tick-tock in the future . Haswell and Skylake won't be outdated anytime soon
I have the i7-4720HQ, which is almost the same as the 4700MQ, and I haven't had any trouble running anything in Dolphin yet--at the default clock, anyway. The Sonic Colors 60FPS code needs an overclock to run at a more stable framerate, and I do have some trouble with that. It's especially annoying trying to find the balance where I'm lagging in game vs. lagging in Dolphin.
Yeah , even the most demanding game : The Last Story run at 150% speed here . Since the DX12 backend is available , Dolphin becomes "less demanding" now
I plan to upgrade the i7 for Cemu .

Aaaactually, some do! Those involved in infrastructure and other very trusted positions will have admin status, and developers who have proven to be really good with the community will sometimes have moderator powers too. But it's all hidden behind their primary user group (Developers). I'm much the same way~! But the label itself doesn't really mean anything.
Still, there *is* a certain amount of trust that users will give to someone with the Developer tag that they wouldn't give to other people. We gave tuedj the developer tag just so people would listen to him! As such, even though a Developer tag doesn't mean a lot on its own, we will only give it to someone who has contributed to Dolphin's code for quite while and genuinely knows what they are talking about concerning programming and code, and/or GC/Wii hardware.

I suppose the only good news is that I get an excellent 4G LTE signal (too bad I will be heavily throttled, have very limited data, and be ripped off).
Edit: It appears that the local ISP I want had plans to move to my area very soon, but the state just won a lawsuit that won't let them leave the county they are currently in.
@ExtremeDude2,
I found out I may, by a very slim chance be getting better internet soon. It depends on whether or not an isp worked out a deal to run their lines in here or Verizon gave up the area. When I last spoke with this isp they told me I was under Verizon telco territory and they could not extend service. The pisser is service from this isp stops two houses away, no more than 500ft from the mobile home park I reside in. The road the park is on and everything after is a Verizon dead zone.

welcome to my life (afaik im forum user #2 and ive had a history with the emulator & wii scene )
You're the guy who developed the Priiloader. That tool saved my Wii after I installed a broken channel, haha good old times. I bet a lot of people here know you assuming that they are familiar with the wii hacking scene.
Btw, I'm not dead yet. Just lurking around...
Being a professional forum lurker I know everyone here.
If I was actually good at writing I would write a fanfic of everyone here.
