The best CPU for PC gaming in 2020 :
5 Best CPU for Gaming -
1. Intel Core i7-8700K -
(For the power gamer, but without breaking the bank)
Cores: 6 | Threads: 12 | Base Clock: 3.7GHz | Overclocking: Yes, 4.9-5.0GHz typical | L3 Cache: 12MB | TDP: 95W | PCIe 3.0 lanes: 16
Intel's 8th generation Coffee Lake Core i7-8700. It's a very powerful, modern processor that will happily manhandle any gaming-related tasks your software throws at it, but it won't require you to take out a second mortgage to afford. Currently hovering right around the $300 price point, the 8700 is a great value proposition, and will keep your rig ahead of any CPU bottleneck for some time to come. Packing six hyper-threaded cores and Intel's performance enhancing, leakage reducing 14nm++ process, the 8th gen Coffee Lake flagship still offers plenty of power to navigate gaming's most challenging tasks and handle any of your workload/'mega-tasking' needs.
2. AMD Ryzen 9 3900X -
(The best AMD option for your gaming rig.)
Cores: 12 | Threads: 24 | Base Clock: 3.8GHz | Boost Clock: 4.6GHz | Overclocking: Yes, though PBO is better | L3 Cache: 64MB | TDP: 105W | PCIe 4.0 lanes: 16
The Ryzen 9 3900X demands a robust pricetag but the cost still bags you a good cooler (Wraith Prism) and you get 50 percent more cores and threads. This means that there's an excellent extra boost in performance on busy workloads away from gaming like 3D rendering and video editing. However, if you're only worried asbout gaming - and that's likely given you're on this page - the trade off you have to endure (around an 8 percent slower gaming performance according to our friends at PC Gamer) only demonstrates itself and makes itself known on lower settings and a lower resolution with the fastest GPU available (RTX 2080 Ti).
3. Intel Core i5-9400F -
(A great budget CPU for Intel-centred builds)
Cores: 6 | Threads: 6 | Base Clock: 2.9GHz | Turbo Clock: 4.1GHz | Overclocking: No | L3 Cache: 9MB | TDP: 65W | PCIe 3.0 lanes: 40
The Core i5-9400F is a little faster than the previous model - the Core i5-8400 - but it completely sheds itself of the the Intel integrated graphics. That's not a problem for games, and all in it's a great choice that won't break the bank.
You won't be able to overclock this processor - but you can redirect the money you save to a beefier motherboard like an H370 board - though a lot of mobos will happily run the 9400KF at 3.9GHz, which gives you no reason to be concerned with the low base clock. At least you get a cooler thrown in the box which is not oft seen with processors. While the i5-9400F may not be as fast as other CPUs it is still a strong model if you're putting together a machine on a shoestring.
4. AMD Ryzen 7 3700X -
(An excellent mid-range gaming CPU)
Cores: 8 | Threads: 16 | Base Clock: 3.6GHz | Turbo Clock: 4.4GHz | Overclocking: Yes, 4.2-4.3GHz | L3 Cache: 32MB | TDP: 65W | PCIe 4.0 lanes: 16
Slightly in the shadow of its bigger brother the 3900X, the Ryzen 7 3700X is still brilliant. It is basically as fast in games and still offers all the other other benefits of AMD's Zen 2 architecture - some of which might become useful during the coming years. The 3700X is a sensible choice, considering for its price tag, you bag an extra Wraith Prism cooler with an 8-core/16-thread CPU.
Compared to a close Intel rival - Intel's i7-9700K - our friends at PC Gamer tell us that it's about 9 percent slower in gaming performance, though this is only visible again at those lower settings with a mega GPU like an RTX 2080 Ti. If you go for an appropriate graphics card companion like AMD's RX 5700 XT, the difference will be basically negligible and meaningless. For other demanding tasks and applications like 3D rendering and video editing you'll receive a nice boost of 18 percent, so all of that combines to make a seriously good package. Purely for gaming, you might pass on the 3700X, but taking everything onto account and its value for money, it is definitely one of the best CPUs you can buy right now.
5. Intel Core i9 10900K -
(The fastest gaming CPU overall)
Cores: 10 | Threads: 20 | Base Clock: 3.7GHz | Turbo Clock: 5.3GHz | Overclocking: Yes, 5.0-5.3GHz typical | L3 Cache: 20MB | TDP: 95W | PCIe 3.0 lanes: 16
The guide can't be complete without one of the latest from Intel's, err, latest generation of processors that came out this year. If you have a hankering for the extreme and a desire to future proof yourself up the wazoo, then the best CPU for gaming, for you, is the Core i9 10900K. If one is being ruthlessly realistic and honest, then the i9 10900K will be far and away too much for most people and most builds but for those chasing the best.
