Number 3

Intel Core i9 9900K
Topping our selection of VR suitable CPUs is the Intel Core i9-9900K. A high-end processing powerhouse, this super fast CPU features 8 cores, 16 threads, a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz, a boost clock speed of 5.0 GHz, and a 95 W TDP.

Despite AMD’s latest CPUs edging closer to Intel’s in terms of single-core performance, Intel retains the crown. This gives the Intel Core i9-9900K an edge in gaming performance that translates to VR performance. When paired with a powerful GPU, there’s no game out there with demands that can trump the Intel Core i9-9900K. We are looking at maxed-out settings and buttery smooth, high FPS that superseded the refresh rates of your headset of choice in all titles.

Price does stand as a roadblock when it comes to the Intel Core i9-9900K. It doesn’t come cheap and may be out of range for some builders. However, it does have the added benefit of offering top-tier performance for traditional non-VR gaming, making it ideal for those that dabble in both.

Number 2

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
Next up, we shift over to team red with the best AMD CPU for VR – the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. Much like the Intel Intel Core i9-9900K stands proudly among AMD’s most powerful retail CPUs geared towards gaming with 16 cores, 32 threads, a base clock speed of 3.8 GHz, a boost clock speed of 4.6 GHz, and 105 W TDP.

There’s substantial power lurking below the surface when it comes to the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, especially when it comes to producing the refresh rates required for an excellent VR experience. We’re talking high, all but perfect frame rates at all times.

It lags a little behind the Intel Core i9-9900K in pure gaming performance, but this is easily made up thanks to top-tier multithreading performance and a more reasonable price tag. As VR developers tap into the processing power of more cores, the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X also boasts significant future-proofing chops and is a good investment for the years ahead.

Number 1

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
While the naming conventions imply a lesser card to the Ryzen 9 3900X, the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X stands its ground when it comes to VR gaming, with the added benefit of a lower price tag. Consequently, it’s a perfect middle ground for those seeking value alongside a great VR experience.

Under the hood, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X packs 8 cores, 16 threads, a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz, a boost clock speed of 4.4 GHz, and a 65 W TDP, matching Intel’s pricier options on many fronts. As with the Ryzen 9 3900X, gaming performance comes in lower than Intel, but the differences are negligible in the grand scheme of things, and VR doesn’t suffer as a consequence in any tangible sense.

As above, multi-threading potential does future-proof the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X to a certain extent, making it a more affordable yet worthy investment for what’s in store for VR’s future.
