Since the recent update to the Blender Open Data project was announced, I got curious and decided to dig into the data to see what CPUs perform the best with cycles rendering, this article presents insights on the fastest CPUs you can buy right now and provides a chart of over 100 CPUs and how they stack up against the Barber Shop interior benchmark, all thanks to data from the Blender benchmarks, hope you enjoy the article and comments, corrections and criticism welcome :D
