Looking for the best processor in existence. I dont care for the price. Im just trying to figure out which one is the best
 
Solution
That depends entirely on exactly what you want to do.

Some applications work best with the i7-4770 (moderately threaded with significant dependence on single-threaded performance), others are better suited for the i7-49xx (more significantly threaded with still significant single-threaded dependencies), others for the FX83xx (significantly threaded with moderate to low single-thread performance dependence) and then you have massively parallel x86 software which could scale to server CPUs like a multi-socket Xeon E7-8890v2 (15 cores / 30 threads per CPU, up to 8 CPUs per system - 120 cores / 240 threads per system) at $7000 per CPU for massively scalable code like software rendering, finite element analysis/simulation, signal...
