cpus are general purpose so really any cpu can be used for gaming purpose. if you are asking for a modern cpu recommendation for gaming there are really only two choices. cpus made by intel or amd. If you want pure top tier performance and money is not an issue, get an Intel processor something like an 9700k or 9900k is high end. The many security flaw patches don't really affect performance at all for most people. If you don't mind having something slower like maybe 15%~ less on avg, but has more value for the dollar get a Ryzen processor. "Multitasking" isn't a real problem that Ryzen handles better. I believe what people mean is that on tasks that use multiple processor cores Ryzen presents more performance per dollar as you can get more multi threaded performance at the same price point compared to an intel equivalent. Both are great. Intel would probably be my go to. Cheers.
