There’s been plenty of great deals this Cyber Monday, but none have been quite so convincing as this Ryzen 5 5600X discount on Amazon. Now only $134 (was $310), the product has been discounted by way over half price. You’re going to be able to save $175 as the processor drops to its lowest ever retail price that we’ve seen.
You’re going to have to act fast to pick up this deal. Though the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X was launched back in 2020, it’s one of the best budget CPUs available and we’re predicting it to sell like hot cakes at this price. You’re also not going to need to seek out an AM4 cooler just yet, as this one comes bundled with a Wraith Stealth air cooler that’s going to do the job right out the box.
AMD Ryzen 5600X
You’re going to be handed a processor that operates initially at 3.7GHz. The 6 CPU cores and 12 threads will ease your compute workload slightly, and the overall TDP of 65W means you’re not going to be eating into your energy bill too much either. You can expect this to rise slightly if you end up overclocking the processor, at which point you can reach a clock speed of 4.6GHz.
Unlike the latest Ryzen processors which include DDR5 support and 3D V-Caching, the 5600X is built upon Zen 3 core architecture. You’re going to be enjoying lag free gaming and incredibly fast load times which the 3MB of L2 cache and 32MB of L3 cache will bring.
We don’t think that the Ryzen 5 5600X is going to be available for much longer. The price is far too good for people to pass up on, and it’s even making me question whether or not its time to upgrade my gaming PC. Probably not, payday isn’t until this Friday…
