Fastest in what? Single thread or multithread? Do you need an iGPU? And finally, very importantly, are you sure your workload is CPU bound?For multithread, I have little doubts the Skylake Xeon D CPUs are the ticket, the D-2163IT with 12/24 cores/ threads at 2.1 GHz - 3GHz at 75W is probably the fastest you can do. Yes, it's slightly above the recommended 65W of Noctua but that's what makes it best Attaching the Noctua, would be the a challenge, of course :/Within more traditional CPUs , I would wait to see the 9900T benchmarks before buying the 9900K or KF, no doubt those are best as they are unlocked and you can XTU tweak them until they stable at whatever speed you can achieve.
