Dolphin optimized on quad core - Tampe - 05-28-2009
First of all hi to all and many congratulations for the emu
!There is any hope to have a Dolphin version optimized on quad core?
RE: Dolphin optimized on quad core - death-droid - 05-28-2009
Nope it won't be happening
Well that's what i read from most posts from the devs
RE: Dolphin optimized on quad core - Tampe - 05-28-2009
Ok, maybe a better and more accurate forum reading would have been helpful
, anyway many thaks for the answer.

hmm, considering this question, is there an FAQ?

i havent see a clear anwer of why this cant happend isnt 4 better than 2

Not necessarily.
With more cores, you have to check to make sure that threads aren't getting out of sync which can lead to more overhead which can slow down the process overall.
Then there's the fact that Quad Core CPU's are generally slower than their Dual Core counterparts.

there may be a third for sound in the near future
RE: Dolphin optimized on quad core - manaurys - 07-12-2009

Not nessecarily better, but it will take up less cpu power on the core it is currently running on. The idea is to have each process that takes up cpu power, Audio, Video, and the Core, and put them on their own core, therefore optimizing the most amount of cpu power because everything has its own core

Problem though is that with each core, you'll have more and more overhead for having to keep the cores in sync which will affect the speed and also quad cores are typically clocked at a slower speed compared to their dual core counterparts.
