Quadcore Support ? - RDilus - 02-26-2010

Is there Quadcore support
since a week i have a AMD Phenom II 965 @ 4Ghz
but i wanna know dolphin support it
i guess its only dualcore atm ?

I've monitored the process while playing a game and on my dualcore it uses 2 threads for most of the processor time, and a third for less than 10%.

Anyway, your CPU is really fast anway, it doesn't matter if not all cores are used.

It's been brought up before, the emulator itself only needs to make use of two cores, one for GPU and the other for CPU emulation.
The emulator would not benefit from supporting additional cores. But your system having 2 spare cores @ 4Ghz should be fantastic anyway.

Quad Core is useless for Dolphin and would cause more problems.
