Best CPU for intense simulations

Hi,

The company I work for does a lot of work running Simulations for Rainfall and Flood modelling. (I.E on models of towns and cities, the software we use predicts flow, velocity, volume etc every minute over year long periods.)
The work is done on the main processor and not a GPU. as far as I know

Just wondering whether IVy bridge would offer significant improvement in simulation times.. Lets say for example I want to run a year Sim, which would take 2 days with all 4 cores at 100%.

What would be the most suitable choice for a mainstream processor to run such simulations? (I doubt the company would want to overclock it, unless it was in built turbo)

Kind regs,
