What is the biggest gig processor available for a desktop computer?

Question

Please list the gig not the number, like 4800+ etc.

Answer 1

What do you mean the gig?

The Ghz rating between AMD processors and Intel processors isn't the same and doesn't tell you much since the newer chips run at lower clockspeeds but are more efficient.

For AMD processors, the number before the plus sign (like 5200+) is what tells you how fast they perform relative to older Pentium chips. With the newer Intel chips, you have to look at model numbers like E4300, E6400. The days when just the Ghz rating tells you how fast a processor runs, are looong gone.

You'd have to check benchmarks to see how they really perform- for example, AMD's 4000+ X2 runs at 2.1Ghz but it's way faster than a 3.0 Ghz Pentium-D. The 4000+ rating means it runs slightly faster than a 4Ghz Pentium-D.

The Intel Core 2 Duo 4300 runs at 1.87 Ghz but it's even faster than AMD's X2 4000+ processor.

Now that said, I think the fastest desktop processor is the Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 which runs at a stock speed of 2.66Ghz (but of course people overclock it higher)- the quad cores are for workstations and servers.
