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.

In every benchmark all Core i7s are at the top of the charts... how are they not any faster if they are always in the lead? The issue resides on the fact that some game programmers suck and are to lazy to adjust for the i7's architexture.. still doesnt mean the i7s arent the best of the best to have. Shit, OC one to 4Ghz on air and lets talk fast.
