What's the best CPU? Opinions will vary, from those that want maximum multi-threaded performance, to maximum single-threaded performance, to best overall value. AMD's Ryzen 5 2600X throws its hat into the latter category. [Note: I had to go back and retest a bunch of processors after the 2700X launch review, so these are all updated scores. My apologies for the delays.]
