Hold onto your hats folks because a CPU bundle has been spotted on Newegg. In light of this exciting news we’re covering how to get Starfield for free with AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs.

We all know by now that Starfield is going to be a CPU intensive game. Those looking to upgrade their CPU ahead of the launch may want to consider AMD and Bethesda’s CPU bundle. People happy to upgrade to the AM5 platform will be extra excited about this deal. Of course, this will inevitably come as a disappointment for Nvidia fans that were hoping for DLSS 3 with Starfield, or others who are unable to upgrade their entire PC build for the AM5 platform.

If this is a dealbreaker for you, then pre order your copy of Starfield and make sure you check out the best CPUs for the game instead. Otherwise, start researching the best AM5 motherboard ahead of the Starfield release date in September.

When is the AMD Starfield bundle release date?

There’s been no confirmation for when to expect the AMD Starfield bundle at the time of writing. Though it’s a good idea to start researching the best AMD CPUs for gaming as we wait to hear on a date.

Which AMD CPUs come in the Starfield bundle from Newegg?

AMD has confirmed the following Ryzen 7000 CPUs are included in the bundle.

To make some easy comparisons on some of the most popular choices, we’ve compared Ryzen 9 7950X vs 7950X3D, and covered whether we think the 7950X3D is good for gaming. You may also want to check out which CPU is best for 4K gaming for those planning to play Starfield in higher resolutions.
