That depends on what you mean by best. Highest clock speed? Number of operations per second?
While the 500GHz processor mentioned earlier is undoubtedly the fastest, IBM currently is the world's supercomputing champion with BlueGene/L performing over 280 TFlop/s (trillion calculations per second). Keep in mind that machines like this are massively scaled parallel computing devices - BlueGene/L has 131,072 CPUs and 32 Terabytes of RAM.
"A relatively cheap but modern desktop computer using, for example, a Pentium 4 or Athlon 64 CPU, typically runs at a clock frequency in excess of 2 GHz and provides computational performance in the range of a few GFLOPS."
Word on the street is that a supercomputer capable of over 1 quadrillion calculations per second will ariive between 2006 and 2010.

There's a law (i dont know the name). It tell that after every 18 months, the speed of processors will increase by 30-50%. Even now it is true and being followed. Till now ive seen Athlon AMD 65bit as the best processor

500 Ghz, super-cooled processor was just tested successfully. No application for home computing yet, but that's the best

For the best processor it is Intel and if you say good processor it is AMD.

Now you can use the latest computer which is Pentium D (Dual Core) that mean double proccesor the latest is 2.66GHz also mean ( 2 x 2.66GHz ) with proccessor 830.This proccesor can support 2 x 1MB cache. Besides that,it also can support maximum 2GB RAM which is DDRAM support until 533MHz.Hope this information can help you.
I also heard that the latest is Pentium Dual Core contain with 3.0GHz.So fast.

for now,
Pentium® 965 Extreme Edition w/ Dual Core Tech
3.73 GHz, 4 MB L2Cache, 1066 MHz FSB
incorporates lottsa stuff !
- being used on computers and not as beta testers
