Recommendation for Desktop processor that is most efficient for Multi Threading

[idata]

Hi,

I use a multithreaded (around 20 threads run parrallel) desktop application. Earlier i used Dual Core processor, when i

switched to Core 2 Duo with 3 GHz Clk speed, i almost saved 25% of the processing time. I have searched many processors (i7,

i5, Core 2 Quad) but am confused with all these, please help and recommend a Desktop processor that is most efficient for

Multi Threading. No gaming, no internet, i need just effiecient processor for my time critical application, so as to save

time.

i7 it is then just match up the i7 8XX with P55 and i7 9XX with X58 boards

Also its an i7 not Core 2 Duo or Core2 Quad so the i7 will run faster even at a lower GHz speed due to the Architecture.
