Tech Spot have published their list of the best CPUs in 2017, and here's a snippet: [QUOTE]Last month AMD took the covers off their hotly anticipated Ryzen CPUs. In a nutshell, Ryzen 7 has made Intel's Broadwell-E range pointless at the current asking price, the base model 1700 costs just 0 and its impressive productivity performance makes it virtually impossible to even entertain the idea of buying a 50 Core i7-6900K, let alone the 50 6950X. Then we have Ryzen 5 taking the fight to Kaby Lake and what’s left of Broadwell-E, which at this point is in desperate need of a price cut.
