for cpu cracking, it's not only the clock rate and core count that are important, but also vector extensions as well.
haswell cpus are hot because they support AVX2, but unfortunately haswell is a mid-range processor. have to wait a while for high-end cpus with AVX2 support.
right now i would probably recommend AMD FX-9590, has XOP + 8 cores and a 5 Ghz clock.
