Is it possible to say which CPU is the minimum you need to get all working games on 100% speed without lag or fps drop down? Sure there are other hardware like Graphic card and so on that matters, but are there any experience where you can say, this or that cpu is minimum if you want to play with full speed all time?

I use cpu benchmark to compare the different CPUs and to get an Idea which cpu is more better in single cores and all cores together.
Is there any way of making a plain CPU benchmark or plain GPU benchmark like pcsx2 has on their forum?

There's the Unofficial Dolphin Benchmark:
https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-unofficial-the-unofficial-dolphin-benchmark

Any CPU with a score of under 8:30 is "good enough" for Dolphin *
Any CPU with a score of under 6:00 is ready for the more demanding titles *
Any CPU with a score of under 4:30 is fast enough to run everything at full speed *

* = with the latest dev. build

Where did you get those numbers from?

@Kloks

There are some games that will never run fullspeed no matter what hardware you have.  The rest range from "requires a top of the line overclocked haswell" to "it will run on a modified toaster".  That's the only truly accurate answer as far as I'm concerned.  As for what will run most games at fullspeed, that depends on what percentage you consider "most".  And those percentages would be impossible to match to real hardware without performing very specific benchmarks on every single game (which number in the thousands).  We have no data that we can use to compare the cpu benchmark results against actual games.  They're just there to give you a general idea of how cpus stack up against each other.

We already have a cpu benchmark.  As for a gpu benchmark, it could probably be done but nobody has attempted it yet.
