Well, you definitely get a +1 from me. I'd select it as the best answer, but I don't think that would be very helpful :p

On a different note, I think it's funny that the 12 core CPU has a 5 W higher TDP than the 8 core FX chips. Good ol' Xeon!

Fanboys flock to this post.
Anyway, The AMD-9350 is the best on a budget.
The Extreme Edition i7 if your backyard has money trees.
And the Xeon for amazing servers.
And of course, the powerpc chip in my friends bondi blue imac for sheer hilariousness.

Did you mean 9370? It's a nice CPU, but considering a 4670 almost matches it with multithreaded performance and destroys it with singlethreaded performance, I would rather get the Intel chip. Maybe I'm a fanboy, but I like to think I've got good reasoning :p

I agree with you about the i7s though. If you can afford 'em, they're the best, but they'll cost you a pretty penny.

Are you referring to intel chips... I mean the fx-8350 from AMD with 8 cores/// I am really confused. to the OP, what is the purpose of this question.

Sorry for not being clear. You had said that the 9370 was the best budget CPU. I disagreed in favor of a 4670(k) [the intel chip that I referred to]. That's all.

You had it right, the OP was just asking for "the best CPU." You gave a good list, I was just offering a modification about the best budget CPUs.
