Best choice: 3570k.
Alternatives: 3770k/2500k/2600k

Not possible. You'll get speed drops even with the best processor. Above all with TLS
RE: Zelda Twighlight - Ilia's scent(pink cloud) slowdown FPS problem - DefenderX - 11-22-2012
Core i5-3570k
Overclock it to 4.2GHz or more (for The Last Story, you sould overclock to 4.5GHz). You won't have performance problems, but note, that NO CPU can handle ALL games @ fullspeed ALL the time. (you will encounter FPS drops though)

Quote: MSAA = 7
The problem with some games seems to be the processor, if I change MSAA and internal resolution to the lowest the fps will be the same

I'm not sure if you able to run all of your games in full speed in Dolphin but in price comparison this processor is a great choice.

@killown: Don't read his post, the core i5-3570k is much better. Anyway, get the core i5-3570k. The i7-3770k has HyperThreading and Dolphin won't benefit from it.

The emulator will most likely get slower as newer revisions come out, hacks can speed stuff but they do so by breaking other stuff, your best bet is to just get the most powerful piece of hardware available or just buy a wii.

Dolphin uses 2 cores + 1 (LLE on thread)
Starcraft 2 uses 2 cores as well
You should look at SC2 benchmark or single threaded benchmark when it come to Dolphin
http://www.anandtech.com/print/6396 Scrolldown to see the benchmark

Piledriver , not bulldozer
I5 3470 beat all piledriver CPU by a mile (Dolphin only) and it's much cheaper

http://www.microcenter.com/product/400664/Core_i5_3470_32GHz_LGA_1155_Boxed_Processor
When you pair i5 3470 with Asrock Z77 mobo (Pro 3 , Pro 4 , Extreme 3 , Extreme 4 , Extreme 6) , you can overclock non "k" - i5 3470 to 3.9GHz
Quote:in price comparison this processor is a great choice.
i5 3570k is also cheaper than FX-8350 (170$ vs 200$) , i7 3770k cost 230$
i5 3570k and i7 3770k have the same performance on Dolphin , i5 3570k (stock speed) blow FX-8350 away from earth and it can be overclocked to 4.4GHz or higher
FX-8350 is a good choice for multi-threaded apps or video encoding . Not so good for gaming

But don't forget to buy a very good CPU cooler and thermal compound. Overclocking to 4.5GHz or beyond requires a very good cooling system in your PC case.
And also be sure to buy a good Z77 MoBo
