This is the faqs page on the Dolphin forum if you haven't been there.  https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/faq/  Looks like they mention the i5.  However, my understanding was that Dolphin is still just another emulator relying on processor speed.  My 3.7 ghz i3 works great.  The only limitation I found was that I can't figure out how to play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles with more than one player.  The game requires Gameboy Advances for controllers and the dolphin solution is the vgba emulator.  So each player requires a separate instance of the gba emulator.  I can't tell if I'm doing it wrong or if I just don't have the power in the right place to run virtual gameboy twice alongside dolphin.
