i3-4330 vs i5-3570 for PCSX2

[Donovan24]

You both have reason, so it's hard to say which of the two will perform better, it will probably depends on games: if MTVU doesn't work the i3 should be better, if it works well the i5 should be better, if it works, but not that well, probably there will be similar performances.

In general the i5 will be faster.

My main source for determining how well stuff will work in PCSX2 says to me that they will be pretty close in performance. Both have exception STP. > 2000

But we have a CPU benchmark right on this site!
It's probably better than any other benchamrk based on different softwares.

Just to give you a couple of numbers:

107.99 FPS - SLUS 20672 - Intel Core i7 4770K - 4.5 GHz OC (HT On, Turbo Off) - Barack Obama
100.95 FPS - SLUS 20672 - Intel Core i5 3570K - 5.0 GHz OC (DDR3 1600) - Teufel9000 - CPU-Z

(Haswell around +7% FPS but Ivy has more than +10% frequency).

95.52 FPS - SLUS 20672 - Intel Core i5 4670k - 4 GHz OC - cosmoruski
94.68 FPS - SLUS 20672 - Intel Core i5 3570K - 4.8 GHz OC - Teufel9000

(Same FPS but Ivy has +20% frequency)

86.72 FPS - SLUS 20672 - Intel Core i5 3570K - 4.2 GHz OC (DDR3 1600) - rama
84.51 FPS - SLUS 20672 - Intel Core i7 4770K - 3.5 GHz Stock (HT On, Turbo Off) - Barack Obama

(Same FPS but Ivy has +20% frequency)

In general the i5 will be faster.

Just because you think so?
Or you have some reasons to say that?

Yeah the benchmark on this site is great, it's just that it's missing a lot of CPU.

Of course a benchmark with the application in question is always better than a synthetic, if available.

MTVU gives massive speedups.

Software modes with 3 extra rendering threads.

[Blyss Sarania]

MTVU gives me anywhere from 5% to 25% speedup, depending on the game. One game I actually get 50% slowdown, but that's why I made the MTVU list.

That was in Crash Bandicoot the Wrath of Cortex right?

[Blyss Sarania]

Yes
