Between new prices and benchmarks, we can now look at AMD vs. Intel offerings for the best gaming CPUs, best CPUs for Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, programming & compile, and efficiency, and more. This round-up is made to try and help PC builders who've been out of the game for a little while quickly get back up to speed, with comparisons between key CPUs like the AM5 Ryzen 7000 & Intel 14th "Gen" parts. Some of the top CPUs for the year include the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, AMD R7 5800X3D, Intel i3-12100F, Threadripper 7980X, and more that we'll talk about.
