Ok, the question is simple enough, is there any data on which CPU is the fastest in single threaded tasks?
I have a problem that only can be executed in a single thread, i just run it once a day.
(do you need to actually know what problem is executed to know what CPU is the fastest single threaded one?)
So since it only uses a single thread, there is no point in buying a 10 core, 2.4ghz CPU like the Intel E7-8870. No doubt a really fast CPU in multi threaded stuff.
So would a Intel E3-1290V2 (4 core, 3.7ghz, probably turboed to 4.1ghz in single thread, http://ark.intel.com/products/65722/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1290-v2-8M-Cache-3_70-GHz ) have a high enough IPC to beat the E7-8870 in single threaded performance?
Or any other suggestions?
