I have an i5 2500k, though I chose that one specifically so I had the option to run PS2/Wii emulators with a good framerate no matter the game. If wasn't bothered about emulators I probably would have bought a cheaper CPU and put the money into a better graphics card.


Very good point however Dolphin isn't optimized to run on more than 2 cores (last time I checked 3 months ago). It only uses 2 so a 6 core monster may not run it any faster than a 2 core.

I have confirmed however that Dolphin runs very good on an overclocked Phenom x4 940. You essentially need a 3+ GHZ chip that has at least 2 cores to run Dolphin well.
