This recap of 2019 CPU reviews covers a few key category, including best CPU for video editing, best CPUs for Blender and 3D Modeling, best CPUs for gaming and overclocking, and most well-rounded CPUs. We also talk about top processors for small business and hobbyist production workloads and, counter to that, for ultra-budget gaming PCs. Of course, it wouldn't be a GamersNexus video without also talking about the biggest disappointment of the year and the worst trends of the year.

Use this guide to determine which CPU you should buy for Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Blender, gaming, work, or value / budget. Conveniently, we're also posting this just before Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so CPU sales and deals should start soon on older hardware.
