Best choice for affordable CPU with high single-thread performance? 9600X?

I need a good CPU for Unity development which is largely single threaded. Obviously more threads helps in other multitasking scenarios too, but Unity is my priority. The best bang for buck I've seen so far has been the Ryzen 5 9600X. It's not the most powerful on the market but pretty affordable now and I'm on a budget. Is there a better choice?
