(Paranoid users should instead scroll down and read the instructions under 'Windows geeks that know what they're doing')ĭownload the following EXE (paranoid users should notice that it's merely a self-extracting 7z archive, meaning you can browse the file contents via any archive manager that supports 7z): 'For dummies' edition - not for paranoid users! WARNING: Do not pause the benchmark at any time - doing this will actually hurt your final score!Īlso note: Ignore the error while running the benchmark - this is NORMAL! In order to make comparing easier, I have and will also mark all 2.0GHz, 3.0GHz, and 4.0GHz runs with inverted colors (white text with a dark background) on the spreadsheet. When specifically benchmarking the per-GHz and IPC performance between different CPU architectures, please try to run your CPU at 2.0 GHz, 3.0 GHz, or 4.0GHz. With the release of Dolphin 5.0, I figured that now was an appropriate time to put together a new Dolphin Benchmark thread - but this time, taking a page from 's Cinebench 15 benchmark thread, the results will automatically update without any input from myself!

DISCLAIMER: The purpose of this thread is to use Dolphin and luabench as a general CPU benchmark that can used to determine a CPU architecture's relative capabilities in emulation-based workloads it is not intended to benchmark Dolphin itself and should not be viewed as an example of absolute performance in Dolphin (which typically is several times slower).ĬLICK HERE to submit your benchmark resultsĭelroth, the creator of the previous Dolphin benchmark, has put together a newer benchmark that should be more comparable to real-world performance in Dolphin.
