Best high-end processor deals

1. Intel Core i7-14700K
2. AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D

High-end processors are squarely aimed at the enthusiast and professional market, and, as you’d expect can carry some pretty hefty price tags. 

If cost is no factor, however, then these 8-core and sometimes even 16-core beasts will absolutely give you the most performance possible – so much in fact that they might be overkill for some users.

Best mid-range CPU deals

TechRadar recommends

1. AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
2. Intel Core i5-12600K

Mid-range CPUs are generally targeted towards most mainstream gamer builds, being better bang for the buck than the high-end enthusiast chips. They’ll also be the sort of thing you’ll want to invest in if you’re wanting something that will perform decently for intensive applications and last a few good years down the line. 

Intel’s long-standing Core i5 range has traditionally dominated the mid-range processor market, but in the past few years, we’ve seen that near-monopoly shattered by AMD’s Ryzen 5 chips, which are just as popular these days.

Best entry-level CPU deals

TechRadar recommends

1. Intel Core i3-13100
2. AMD Ryzen 3 4100

Budget CPUs mostly come in the form of the latest Intel Core i3 and AMD Ryzen 3 series of processors – which are essentially consumer-grade chips meant for cost-effective productivity builds. Generally retailing for around $100 / £100, these chips are great if you’re simply building a desktop for working from home or everyday use.

Surprisingly, these chips have come a long way in recent years and can actually handle a bit of gaming on the side too, although you can expect bottlenecking if you’re pairing them up with a serious graphics card.
