Usually most emulator benchmarks are limited to a specific emulator, eg PCSX2, Dolphin etc without the possibility to draw comparisons.
Aim of this thread is to make a comparative performance thread of your computers capabilities. One PC may be good for one emulator but have problems in another
Users who have trouble running specific games on emulators, can ask for help to see if their hardware can handle it.
Comparisons between Windows, Linux and other operatings systems
or between OpenGL, Direct3D, Vulkan etc can also be included

I'll post some examples.
My rig is an i7 4790K, 12 GB DDR3 1600, Nvidia GTX660 (soon to upgrade), Windows 10/Ubuntu 15.10 x64
I have also an older laptop with an i2540m 2.4 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, Nvidia GT555M, Windows 7 x64
Lets begin with an old benchmark that few years ago was quite demanding:
SNES emulator:Higan Accuracy Profile
SMW2: Yoshi's Island Intro Island sequence
No problem playing SNES games on Accuracy profile, compared to 6 years ago. On laptop game struggles at 40 fps, but is perfectly playable on other profiles.
Also on my previous rig I had to overclock the i3 at 4 Ghz to reach 60 fps.
Nintendo64:
Mario Tennis
(Windows 10, Project64 latest 32-bit git with Angrylion 1.5 pixel accurate plugin)
I'll have to test the Linux 64-bit build to see if there is any performance difference.
Mario Tennis (EU version) runs smooth, with FPS going down to 44 fps during the various visual fx. On laptop game would be unplayable on this plugin
PCSX2, Windows 10
Taito Memories II - Joukan
Surprisingly those 2D emulated games can be quite demanding, even more than the latest 3D games. Probably because they rely on emulation withing an emulator.
Game is unplayable on laptop but perfectly playable on the i7.
Sakura Wars V
Another demanding game is Sakura Wars V. While VN story and dialogue has no issues, battle sequences require a multi-core CPU to play properly. On my previous dual core those scenes were unplayable.
PPSSPP x64, Windows 10
Ultimate Ghouls and Ghosts
Game is unplayable on laptop and quite demanding on dual cores. But on i7 it runs fine at 100& speed
