Top Performing AMD CPUs?

[jgbishop]

What would be considered the "top of the heap" CPUs from AMD these days?

The FX-60?

Pretty much, yes. Though it kind of depends on what the OP means by "top of the heap"

Clock speed? Overclockability? Dual-CPU support? Lots of things to consider.

The FX-60 if you need absolute dual core power, the FX-57 if you need absolute single core power, the Opteron 146 if you want the best single core overclocking for the money, and the Opteron 165 if you want the best dual core overclocking for the money.

There ya go

I was just wondering what was, in comparison to all other chips, the fastest at the moment (I know that the term "fastest" is subjective - I'm speaking in general terms). This stuff changes so quickly, and I've haven't looked at hardware in so long, that I'm really out of the loop.
