Ryzen can run most Wii/GC games well for sure but the real question here is how can it handle demanding games like TLS with EFB to Ram , Metroid Triology , Zelda SS...???

I believe just fine since with my 4ghz 2500k which is worse don't have any problem with the above games using the latest dolphin, only the rogue squadron/rebel strike gamecube games pose a challenge from the games i can remember.

yeah also that. AMD's ryzen is fine for Dolphin. Intel is better, sure, but you don't need a 4.5 ghz kaby lake to run Dolphin.

Waiting...

I thought we already knew it was never gonna be better than Sky/Kaby on dolphin, all it had going for it was Performance per dollar.

No one expected it to be better than Kabylake on dolphin. I'm a realist. I simply expect that AMD could be a good option to run modern emulators (like Pcsx2 and Dolphin).

I imagine that for this purpose, Zen 4c\4t and 4c\8t are the best options, for surely will have highest clocks.

Pentium Haswell G3258 @ 3.2GHz (stock speed) scores 8m 4s in Dolphin Benchmark. So it's still slower than a 3.2GHz Haswell despite having the higher turbo clock  
This is not good enough for demanding games . However , you can always overclock it for better performance . The problem is... it can only be OCed up to 4.0GHz - 200MHz higher than turbo clock (according to that article)
Give AMD a year or two , they probably make a better CPU than this
Edit : It's 507s , not 500s . There is sth wrong with my eyes

"Give AMD a year or two"

I hope so. I can see this CPU release as kind of getting the bulk catch up after all these years. I hope next year they can actually knock things out of the park.

Nah, I didn't expect it to blow the 7700K out of the water. But I was disappointed that it is slower than the 6900K on many occasions too. 

R7 1700

Holy crap thats slow compared to the 7700k.
