The AMD Ryzen 7000 series release date is fast approaching, but you know what it means to launch a new line of processors… That’s right, current generation discounts. AMD Ryzen 7 5800X it sits at the top of the current Team Red lineup of processors, and you can get it for 43% off at Amazon.
It’s not exactly the best gaming CPU money can buy, but it’s there, giving Intel Core a run for its money with eight cores, 16 threads and a maximum boost of 4.7GHz. There are very few processors that can match the cost of this chip at its new price of $257 in the US, down from $449 previously. There’s plenty of savings in the UK too, dropping from the MSRP of £419.99 to a much more comfortable price of £274.99.
That means more pennies in your pocket for more DDR4 RAM, a larger gaming SSD to store your games, and a new motherboard to house the chip.
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is compatible with 500-series motherboards and most 400-series motherboards, which means it will be pretty easy to upgrade without spending a lot of money. Full disclosure though: The processor won’t be compatible with newer 600-series motherboards running on a different chipset.
If you subscribe to Amazon Prime, you can have the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X delivered right to your door even sooner with overnight delivery. New subscribers can also get a 30-day free trial, which means you can use the service without paying a dime. Don’t wait, because this CPU deal won’t last forever.
