The global computer chip maker AMD has achieved the Guinness World Record for the 'Highest Frequency of a Computer Processor'. As we know frequency of a chipset is used to describe the number of calculations done by the processor in a second, and is used to assess the performance of the chipset. The AMD FX CPU, set for launch in the fourth quarter of 2011, achieved a top speed of 8.429 GHz, surpassing the previous record of 8.308 GHz.
AMD has been enlisted in Guinness World Records for achieving the Highest Frequency of a Computer Processor.
Question may be asked how processor effect the computer based operations and their co relation with memory of computer. Well, the high processor speed enables unrivalled PC experience - extreme multi-display gaming, mega-tasking and HD content creation making your experience with digital world more pleasant.
To have a very high CPU Speed is a good thing, because more instructions per second get executed. On the other hand, with current speeds where they are, most computers coming default with at least 2 Ghz, you will start to see a diminishing return on the visible speed differences between one processor and the next speed. Computers of at 2Ghz should be more than fine these days for most applications and you will probably not see much of a difference by increasing the speed of your processor when using standard applications. Games on the other hand can be more CPU intensive, and if you are going to be using your computer predominantly as a gaming machine, then it could not hurt to spend a few extra dollars on the CPU. You must remember though, to save some money for your memory, as that is just as important to having a fast machine.
