While high-end CPUs may take the limelight for being the best gaming CPUs, CPUs that fall in an affordable price range are the ones that generally sell the most. If you look closely at the best-selling CPUs in retail stores like Amazon, the top 10 CPUs consist mostly of budget processors. This is not just because of budget constraints but also because the price-to-performance ratio doesn't improve drastically when opting for premium chips. CPUs have improved drastically in bringing top-notch specifications, featuring a high core/thread count, higher clock speeds, and superior architecture in recent years without costing an arm and […]
