2 What is Most Powerful Processor In the World?

As of now, I would say, the new Intel Core i7 980x 6 core is the best single chip (multicore) processor on the market outside of any Xeon Class.
Of course, there are supercomputers in the world, the US Defense Department, the Oceanic and Atmopsheric Administration, National Weather Forecasting, has supercomputers which have THOUSANDS of CPU's ganged together in parallel. What makes supercomputers are multiple cpu chips in parallel. So when I say the i7 980x, I mean a motherboard with ONE CPU socket.
I am talking about what is available for a single/corparate buyer for building a high end single chip (multicore) cpu based computer. It is the Intel Core i7 980x 6 Core CPU.
