AMD Ryzen 5000 processors fall to all-time lows at Amazon

This might be a good moment to start building your next desktop PC. Amazon is selling some of AMD’s best Ryzen 5000 series processors at new all-time low prices. The six-core Ryzen 5 5600X is the best value of the bunch, selling for $260 (16 percent off) in the US and £215 in the UK. If you prize performance above all else, the 16-core Ryzen 5950X has been discounted to $599 ($200 off) in the US and £549 for UK buyers.

The Ryzen 5000 line isn’t quite as dominant as it once was now that Intel’s Ryzen 7000 series (AMD is skipping 6000 on desktops) isn’t shipping until late 2022. You can buy the 5000 series now knowing that it will remain AMD’s best offering for several months and remain very competitive throughout the year.
