What is the fastest single core processor?

[rogerk8]

Hi!

I just want to know what is the fastest single core processor ever made?

Me being stubborn about single core has to do with the ease of assembly programming.

Imagine a computer being programmed with the assembly language only.

How fast will it not go?

The fastest Single core processor is the same as whatever the fastest processor is. At the consumer level, that is probably some variant of the i7.

A Multi-core processor is by definition also a Single core processor. All cores can easily be disabled save one. Performance will suffer.

Hi BC!

I do not fully get your first statement but I interpret it as: The Intel i7 is the fastest single core processor available.

The other statement is self explanatory. But you know me, I do not think performance will have to suffer!

Best regards, Roger
PS
What organisation do i7 have? 32X32-bit, or?

I am still confused about what you said with regard to that processors work with bytes.

I have actually seen a screen-dump of the MBR (Master Boot Record) where the data for each 32-bit adresses where in one byte per address only. This I do not understand at all.

A 32X32-bit processor should work with a 4-bytes wide address bus as well as a 4-bytes wide data bus.

Finally, I want to beg of your forgiveness for being so crazy and mean the last time we spoke.
