The i7 is the fastest processor out there right now, but it is expensive. The AMD Phenom II and the core2 are a lot less money. All of these processors are fast.
If your application if very memory intesive, not gaming, the i7 with its three DDR3 memory busses can give a 40% boost in performance. In most games the i7 is not any faster.
