Don't compare native games with the emulation. Most PC games put the bulk of graphic processing on the GPU and run the code as it comes, the emulator must translate everything to something the PC understand before ever passing it to actual machine output. Besides, greater part of graphics are emulated on the CPU (VU just as example).
And finally, despite being an old I5, that one is a dual core (despite stating 4 logical cores) what prevents the MTVU experimental hack to be applied.
People with newer i5 and i7 with 4 actual cores may have issues with some games.
That your CPU performs worse than newer AMD even, so, it is far from powerful by modern terms.
PS: It's simple actually, if you can play without speedhacks all the times, the machine is powerful enough for the specific game emulation, else you need more powerful machine, whatever it is.
