Fastest single-core processor?

The FX-57 is fastest in many applications, in some however the Pentium 4 670 (3.8GHz) is the fastest single-core CPU.

you talking in terms of merely clockspeed? Because no Pentiums were able to keep up with the A64 series (including the FX chips based on that architecture). I might be wrong however, as at a certain point I stopped following the releases, but I don't remember the FX chips ever 'losing' in benchmarks to the Pentium 4 chips.
 
As far as gaming, I think the FX-57 was the fastest single-core out there. If you want to go by clockspeed it was definitely a P4, though I don't know which model.

I had a FX-55 for a while, it was a beast of a chip. I would still be running it now if I hadn't gotten such an insane deal on a E6600.
 
wait 'til the new celerons come out, they should pwn every other single core processor as theyll basically be a single core core 2.
