If you're in the market for a new high-end PC, it's worth spending your cash on a platform based on the Core i7. This Extreme Edition CPU will also let you overclock it reliably, and allow you to get close to 4GHz while only using an air cooler.

Ultra-keen gamers and developers will appreciate the Skulltrail's ability to run either SLI or CrossFire configurations on the same platform, while users who run multithreaded software will love the 8-core CPU support.

As usual there's a hefty price on this right now, but the new transistor technology and larger cache seem to have given this CPU a nice boost over its predecessor. If you want the extra speed and would also like to do some overclocking it's worth considering.

It's bound to be expensive, but users who are out to build the fastest rig on the block will appreciate the extra speed

With a default speed of 2.93GHz, this is currently the fastest desktop quad-core CPU on the market. At its default speed, the QX6800 didn't perform much faster than the QX6700, but we were able to overclock it reliably up to 3.47GHz, where we observed much better gains in performance. It's definitely a high-end CPU for a professional, a gamer or an enthusiast user, and it has a high-end price tag to match.

The Core 2 Duo is currently the fastest mainstream CPU family on the market and is perfect for most scenarios. Even the slowest Core 2 Duo will provide excellent performance for gaming, everyday computing, video editing, MP3 encoding and heavy multitasking.

Core 2 Extreme CPUs are aimed at the high-end of the personal computing market. They are a suitable fit for expensive gaming PCs and are great for video editing rigs and for those of you who use design applications and want to build an entry-level workstation, rather than a more expensive one based on Intel Xeon CPUs.

Intel pulled out all the stops with this processor and it certainly is a good one, but it does not do enough to knock AMD off the performance pedestal.

As it stands, the Pentium D 2.8GHz is not much of an upgrade over existing 2.8GHz Pentium 4 CPUs, but you will get a slight benefit when multitasking. It is a relatively inexpensive dual-core CPU though, retailing around $400, although it does require a new chipset to run on.

This mid-range board doesn't have many overclocking options or special features, but it's good value.

Don't expect dual-core to be the top performer today for games and other demanding single-threaded applications but that will change as applications are rewritten.

When it comes to blazing gaming performance, this is the chip to get. There is no real advantage with regular application processing though.
