Dolphin only uses two-cores maxed. Check the benchmarking threads on  Dolphins forums. G3258 at 4.5-4.6 ghz is only bested by i7's overclocked to 4.9-5ghz.

The difference for utilizing 3 vs 2 cores in PCSX2 is NOT minute! The Multithreaded VU1 hack can provide significant speed ups from 3 cores ...
