Best gaming CPU 2025

What is the best gaming CPU? Your choice of processor will fundamentally affect your PC’s frame rates, so you want to make sure you buy the very best gaming CPU you can afford when building a new PC. It’s your CPU that sets up the frames for your GPU to render in games, making it the foundation of your gaming PC hardware. 

Our current top choice is the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. It’s the fastest chip for gaming with enough power for other tasks too. For a more budget-friendly choice, the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X covers the basics with solid gaming performance, or the Intel Core i5 12400F is even cheaper at under $110.
