I don't think I've seen anyone mention that it might not even matter if the TX1 throttles the CPU under heavy load in the Shield TV since Dolphin, and most other emulators, are usually very single or dual-threaded so they can only really use about 50% of the CPU at max. It's also safe to say that a game probably wouldn't be running at full speed if it were maxing out both cores so actual CPU utilization is probably below 50%. Sure, there are some minor tasks that Dolphin can use a third core for and Android would obviously use those additional cores but it's unlikely that would bring the CPU to anywhere near 100%.



So my point is, even if the Shield TV DOES throttle it's CPU, that doesn't mean Dolphin could bring it to that point especially when I've never heard of anybody experiencing slower performance over time during long Dolphin play sessions on the Shield TV.
