CPUs suited for light gaming

This list includes CPUs suited for light games such as Valorant, Minecraft, Roblox, UNDERTALE, and League of Legends at FHD / 120 FPS.

Ryzen 5 3500 is used as the minimum baseline model for light gaming.

This evaluation assumes the system has a GPU, memory, and storage configuration that is sufficient for the task.

What to Check Beyond the Score

  • In general, newer CPUs have more advanced designs, so even at the same score they may allow higher settings or higher FPS.
  • Models such as Ryzen X3D CPUs have larger L3 cache, which can improve game performance even when the score is similar.
  • Models that do not support Windows 11 should not be chosen. Unsupported models are excluded from this list.
