The Pentium 4 processor at 2 GHz is the world's highest-performance desktop processor ???!!! That is true but I would claim that Pentium 1.7GHz was also the world's highest-performance desktop processor since it beat the Athlon 1.4GHz in SpecInt and SpecFp. The Alpha 1GHz is still faster than P4/2GHz for FP. So depending how you weight INT against FP, the P4/2GHz may be the world's fastest processor (not only desktop). I remember the few weeks in 1996 when the 200 MHz Pentium Pro (P6) was truly the world's faster processor beating the then Alpha 21164 (?) for INT and FP. Of course, DEC came up with a faster processor a few weeks afterwards to reclaim the crown.
