Best CPUs of 2019: Gaming, Productivity & Overall

The year 2019 has been really great with a bunch of new CPUs and APUs. 2019 will be remembered to the year for 7nm CPUs as the key player here, AMD has stepped up the game with their Zen 2 CPUs and overtook the market that was predominantly captured by the Team Blue.

Thanks to the Ryzen 3000 processors which have completely changed the game for AMD. Before this AMD was an option for productivity works only but now with the superiority of the Ryzen 3000, AMD CPUs have impressive gaming performance as well.

With a large amount of cache, higher clock speeds and with the 7nm goodness these CPUs are the best ones. The market has totally shifted to Team Red this year and the reports are proof of it. From tech enthusiasts to gamers, everyone has only one word in their mouth – “RYZEN”

Intel is truly facing a hard time out there, instead of going 10nm they are still tick-tocking their historic 14nm architecture. Whereas AMD is just dominating the CPU market from consumer-level to HEDT and even on the server business as well.

When AMD is planning to go 5nm in the coming years, it is hard to see the league leaders fail to bring 10nm CPUs even in 2019, which they really promise to do in 2020. So here are the best CPUs of 2019 which you can readily buy for your system and have a great holiday. 😉

Best Entry Level CPU: AMD Athlon 3000G

There remains no doubt that the Ryzen 9 3900X is the best overall CPU of the year 2019, we chose this over the Ryzen 9 3950X as the former is much more available in the market at a sustainable rate whereas the latter is charged around $1000 rather than its original MSRP of $749. Be it gaming or productivity a Ryzen 9 3900X with its mighty Zen 2 cores crushes all of them in the competition.
