Wrolds fastest processor

[xtremegamer2da-max]

what is amd's and what is intel's FASTEST processor im not talking about the most "cost efficient" im talking about THEE FASTEST PERIOD

 

[esrever]

AMD's 7970 is the faster processor from amd able to do more than 3.5tflops.

im looking 4 processors not video cards

 

[chriscornell]

Intels fastest atm is the Core i7 3960x @ a measly 1K USD

AMDs fastest is probably the FX 8150 @ around 270 USD


This depends on applications, and these are desktop chips, NOT server grade cpus.

A little comparison: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/443?vs=434

you can put 4 Xeon E7-8870 on 1 board and have the most performance. Each chip is $5k.

the AMD side you can put 4 opteron 6282 SE on the same board. each chip is $1.2k

custom servers can use as many cpus are you want.

 

[esrever]

niether intel or amd has the world's fastest processor.

Technically that is a processor.

 

[lemlo]

Yeah I like esrevers first reply to an otherwise completely bogus question

 

[xtremegamer2da-max]

if neither amd nor intel have the fastest than who does and what is it

 

[machvelocy]

if neither amd nor intel have the fastest than who does and what is it

A mainframe chips for IBM z system clocked at 5+ ghz....... (maybe)
there's never been a comprehensive measure against chips with different arch so there's no way to know it.

Is this question about the fastest @ gaming?

 

[gamerk316]

Define *fastest* for us? IPC? Clock speed? Memory bandwidth?

Are you talking X86 only, or all architectures? Are server CPU's applicable?

 

[Rockdpm]

Idk, he hasnt really clarified on if this is a discussion? or is he looking to get the best money can buy?, If its Gaming or Server operation?

Intel E7-8870 in a SGI UV 1000 server. 2560 Cores (4096 threads) and 16Tb of Ram in a single Microsoft Windows Server 2008R2 OS.

Not sure if it will play crysis tho.

 

[amuffin]

It doesn't need to^

 

[xtremegamer2da-max]

nvm ive found my answer

The fastest cpu IS THE XEON E7-8870. You choose the wrong guy.

 

[esrever]

he doesn't look like he knows what hes doing. Shouldn't matter what he does with the info.
