Try to use 4 core for emulator, emulator always heavy on CPU and hyper treading.

Yes, emulators are CPU heavy, but no they are not heavy on hyperthreading. IPC and clock speed are much more important.

"D"
Core i7-960 @ 3.2 GHz = 9:09 (4 cores 8 threads)
Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.5 GHz = 9:27 (4 cores 4 threads)
Xeon E5440 @ 3.6 GHz = 9:43 (4 cores 4 threads)
Xeon E5-1603 @ 2.8 GHz = 10:23 (4 cores 4 threads)
Notice how much more crucial IPC and Clock Speed are than core/thread count. A G3258 outperforms a Core i7 960 easily, even at its stock speed (no overclock.) What is important for Dolphin is the instruction sets that are present and the clock speed of said process. If the processor doesn't have the required instruction sets or a high enough clock speed it doesn't matter how many cores it has. Furthermore, we see a Pentium G3258 @ 4.6 Ghz perform similarly to a Core i5 4670k (both are Haswells) at 4.4 Ghz. For a price that is $140 less, unless one wants to consider modern PC games, a G3258 is a better price/value for emulation.

then get i5 then, it need less power ratio, then G3258
and it's also great for runing modern games on PC and running modern application. from the result all result is close each other. and if he used G3258 he will not able to upgrade to a i5 becuase it has different socket on MOBO.
