The 6 best gaming processors of 2020

Have a good processor To run video games it is as important as a good video card. Precisely, among the best are the Intel and AMD brands with different models and features.

Below we present the best 6 processors to play video games in 2020.

Intel Core i9 9900K 

It is a ninth generation octa-core, with 16 threads and speeds from 3,6 GHz to 5 GHz, surpassing its direct opponent from AMD, the Ryzen 9 3900X. 

Overclockable, the Core i9 9900K is the world's fastest predecessor for  video games from Intel.

AMD Ryzen 5 3400G

The Ryzen 5 3400G qualifies for our list due to the presence of a reasonably performing integrated GPU. The accompanying Radeon Vega 11 guarantees good performance for running games at 720p or even Full HD.

The processor itself is an eight-thread quad-core with speeds from 3,7 to 4,2 GHz. 

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 

The Ryzen 5 3600X is a 12-thread hexa-core that appears to be one of the best options for anyone looking to build a gaming PC in 2020.

 The processor has plenty of performance to handle recent games. Friendly with overlocks, the processor loses ground in terms of performance compared to Intel's 4.0th generation, but still shows a good option in terms of cost-benefit ratio due to its compatibility with PCIe XNUMX, a technology absent even in CPUs rivals.

Intel Core i9 9400F 

With the arrival of the tenth generation of Intel processors, the previous line appears with lower prices. This is the case of the Core i5 9400F, which has intermediate performance, but sufficient for games in general.

With speeds between 2,9 and 4,1 GHz, this processor is capable of achieving good frame rates per second, as long as it is paired with a good graphics solution.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 

The Ryzen 7 3700X is a 16-thread octa-core from AMD designed for the premium market and with balanced performance for both recent games and professional editing software. 

Overclock friendly, the model fits the AM4 socket and, like all third-generation Ryzens, supports PCIe 4.0.

Intel Core i9 10900K

Hailed as “the world's fastest gaming processor,” the Intel Core i9 10900K features 10 cores and 20 threads, running at a base clock of 3,7 GHz that can accelerate up to 5,3 GHz.

The processor also supports overclocking and is compatible with the new Z490 motherboards, which use Intel's LGA 1200 socket.
