what is the fastest processor?

Answer 1

For home use go for amd athlon 64 fx-51 dual core. (about £300)

Answer 2

At the end of 2005 the world record was broken, The current world record is held by a Japanese overclocker who has managed to overclock an Intel Pentium 4 670 microprocessor to 7.132GHz and even run certain benchmarks on the system that was cooled down by liquid nitrogen.

In order to accomplish the extreme overclocking he used an ASUS P5WD2 Premium mainboard based on Intel’s i955X core-logic, Corsair PC2-5400UL 512MB memory modules as well as Intel Pentium 4 670 processor with stock speed of 3.80GHz. The processor system bus was overclocked to 1520MHz; processor’s voltage was pumped up to 1.70V, significantly higher than default setting; memory latency settings were CL4 3-3-4, memory voltage was set to 2.3V.

According to the posted statement, the system managed to calculate π (pi) number to 1 million decimal places in 18.516 seconds, which is currently the world’s record.

The reason this was a true fastest processor is because it was possible to run a program an have it run stable.

Answer 6

depends on how you measure it. Looking at clock speed isnt enough. a multiple core processor can outperform a higher clock speed processor for some tasks and not for others.

It also depends on 64-bit or 32-bit processors. check out www.geek.com for better answers
