Who do the best cpus's for number crunching and photo editing and the sorts now? Ive found a 4.2ghz amd for £105 which i imagine would be very good but the price says otherwise?

Cpu for crunching? Amd or Intel

Yes its correct Intel cpu's have a greater ipc and are are more than likely better for op's needs however using superpi to show this is the fail.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I thought Super Pi performed calculations of numbers. Surely the better scores from Intel CPU's prove what I said.
Using outdated code it has very little relevance to any modern real world usage. It is also believed to favor Intel cpus which skews the results difference between the two different manufacturers, the only thing I would use it for is comparing an Intel cpu to an Intel cpu or Amd cpu to another Amd cpu

Well it was hardly worthy of a facepalm. I still believe it shows that Intel CPU's are much stronger at calculations but whatever trevor.
All it shows is that Intel cpu's are faster at crunching numbers with an outdated instruction set which I highly doubt op will be using.
I'd bet it would show the same results on a modern instruction set anyway...
