considering we got faster at CPU and slower at GPU, probably significantly worse.
Dolphin performs very well on a wide range of CPUs. Even FX users are achieving reasonable perf now a days. It's just the GPU that really needs almost anything better than Intel HD GPUs if you want anything above 1x.
Current Intel eGPUs can handle 2x IR on light / average GPU intensive games now.
As already said, Dolphin won't lower its requirements, unless an optimisation is found without sacrificing accuracy, which is very unlikely to happen. Core 2 Duo are a decade old now, just let them go peacefully.
The answer to this question is yes, because what is considered "low-end" will get stronger as time goes on, while Dolphin's hardware requirements will likely not change drastically.

The answer to this question is No, because he was talking about the near future.
As long as people use Core2 or Athlon64's this question will keep popping up, because that is what this kind of people (no offence) think of as low-end... they don't understand that this hardware is "obsolete" and "old" and they do not get that even the fastest computers still have issues with the harder to emulate games... since "HURDUR IZ CAN PLAYZ GTA5@ULTRA 4K AND WITCHER3 AND SHADOW OF MORDOR AND CRYSIS WHYZ CANT I PLAYZ SUPER MARIO GALAXY AT 10K WITH 100K TEXTURZ AT OVER 9000FPZ BECUZ GAME IS 10 YEARZ OLDZ..." Still no offence meant people just don't understand what emulation is, see the Android subforum for more info

Please make Dolphin 3.0 run good on my Windows XP with no glitches plx, I hazĀ single coreĀ Intel Celeron 4 1.8GHz from 2002, 1x2GB SDR RAM and Geforce FX5200 64MB, I needz to play Rogue Squadron 3 in 4k with 8xSSAA at 60FPS... I am not programmer but I know it must be very easy to do so just do it because I demand it, the devs are just lazy they can just make all games faster, game is old, my computer is almost 4x faster than Gamecube MHz...PLZ FIX...
