Amd is bad for emulation? - Pur3v1l - 02-26-2011
Hello I heard somewhere AMD does not support dolphin fully, I also heard emulation is bad on it. Is this true? If so do they plan on making AMD support better?

hello,
I think INTEL is the best,but expensive.
I use AMD Phenom II quad 3.2 Ghz on linux and haven't problems, AMD is ok for dolphin
Thk

I believe they were talking about sse4, sse3, etc the instruction sets that are intel only...
Some dolphin builds are optmized for those sets

most amd processors (be it phenom x2 to phenom x6) use the age-old K10 architecture which isn't optimal for dolphin.
with an overclock you'll definitely run games at decent speeds on a dual core phenom
but in general intel is faster clock for clock.
wait for bulldozer/zambezi processors to be released before upgrading to an AMD rig.
