[SOLVED] CPU With highest IPC for older games

[joebloww42]

To me every game I play is considered "Old" because they are indie games with alot of math/behind the scenes calcs going on. Which CPU Would do best to handle single thread high IPC if money was not an issue (I want the best of the best) I have heard that passmark can skew the numbers a bit when it comes to Single thread

I currently have a 4790k and need an upgrade it's been a long time.

amd or intel?

Does not compute.

You could always invest in a phase change setup with a highly overclocked 10900K, since money and effort are of no logical or viable importance to you.

highly overclocked 10900K

Thank you guys for the help. I have decided to go with the 10900k with a flux capacitor Install on the MOBO with g7000 Ram. I should be able to use the nitro to get around 9 Ghz

LMAO!!!

On a serious note, you're maxed out on the currently platform with the 4790k so you would have to get a new setup anyways to make significant improvements.
