***Fastest Single Core x86 CPU Ever Made***

[PoliticallyCorrect]

The single core time is almost over after lasting for years and still standing strong against newer dual-core CPU's around. Once a time you would pay a premium for dual-core, such as the 4400+ @ £333 when the 3700+ was just under £100. Who really needs dual-core just yet anyway, before we see any real benefit of dual-core let's see what the fastest and best single core cpu's were off all time.

I would say the AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 was the fastest and most popular was the 3700+ san diego

Other suggestions are welcome, will make a tally and put it on here to elect the winner for performance and a winner for most popular.

How can you argue that FX-55 was the fastest single-core CPU when FX-57 and FX-59 were faster?

Most popular would have to be the Barton 2500, especially the mobile one.

because IMO the fx-57 wasn't much faster for the money, and the FX-55 can overclock to the same speeds easily, didn't know a FX-59 was ever made.
