What is the fastest CPU ever made?

Answer 1

Intel is always be the best across all other company processor. till date i5 and i7 are processor with more speed for home and office use.., more over these processors doesn't need any graphics card

Answer 2

there are different speeds... you can tell what your speed is my right clicking my Computer and going to properties. depending on your OS you might have to click the general tab...

it should also tell you what kind of CPU and how many Cores you have and how much Ram is on the computer

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smartphone, 200mhz - 1200 mhz

Tablet, 500 mhz - 1600 mhz

Netbook, 1.2 ghz - 1.8 ghz

Notebook, 1.8 ghz - 2.9 ghz

Multimedia/Gaming Laptop, 2.5 ghz - 3.5 ghz

Budget/All in One Desktop, 2.4 ghz - 3, ghz

Gaming Desktop, 3.5 ghz - 5 ghz+

Answer 3

This question is like asking for the fastest car, which is Veyron, but there are converted jet planes and rockets on wheels too. Similarly, if the supercooled and esoteric systems are left out, the fastest CPU is: 4.7 GHz, IBM the dual-core POWER6. And, even POWER5's were faster than all the others. I think even games optimized for certain CPU's will work faster on POWER6 CPU's. Unfortunately only server benchmarks are available in a number of sites for comparison and POWER5's are noticably faster. 6's are too new to find data. Considering twice the speed of POWER6 one can easily decide. Whether graphics cards can keep up with them for speed-intensive applications is another subject.

Answer 4

I think the record for overclocking a CPU was like 6 GHz or something.

The final revision of the Pentium 4 was Cedar Mill, released on January 5, 2006 Cedar Mill has a 2 MB L2 cache. It was released as Pentium 6x1 and 6x3 (product code 80552) at frequencies from 3 GHz up to 3.6 GHz Overclockers managed to exceed 8 GHz with these processors using liquid Nitrogen cooling

Answer 5

This answer changes every day as new CPUs are developed. As of Sept 13 2011 the AMD FX CPU was the fastest (and inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records) with a processing speed of 8.429 GHz, though this has probably already been beaten.

Answer 6

Intel Core i7-990X runs at 3.46 GHz

Answer 7

Compaq P4
