Does anybody know the name and speed of the fastest (most GHz) processor made by intel? AMD makes it easy to find their processors through the "shop AMD" feature but the intel site has no similar button.

Core i7 965 Extreme @ 3.2 GHz.
It's more than 2.6 times as fast as AMD's current flagship CPU, the Phenom X4 9550 BE.
It'll still run you about $1075...

Yup, the new extreme i7 is a beast. You get what you pay for.

And at the 200 dollar price point...wait what?

I think he meant fastest clock speed, not highest performance:

3.8Ghz

[/sarcasm]

Wait...Did he?

the CPU with the most GHz made by intel was the intel was the P4 extreme edition of some version that was I believe stock at 3.8GHz.

but now if you are talking about fastest CPU as far as performance goes the P4 was slow.

the fastest and affordable cpu is e8600 oc'ed

There were P4's up to 3.8 GHZ.

Most gigglehurtz is the Pentium Extreme Edition 965 at 3.73ghz. (Actual performance is slower than a 2.6ghz Athlon though)

Fastest is Core i7 965 Extreme @ 3.2 GHz.

That's what you're saying, but that's not what the OP is asking about

 

[darksideleader]

so he's competing with his friends for the battle of the ghz's

Honestly though if overclock a e8600 or w/e to 4ghz, beats the pentium 4 at 8ghz.
