AMD’s innovative Ryzen 7 5800X3D offers plenty of intrigue for PC gamers, but the cache-laden, 3D-stacked chip faces stiff competition from within Ryzen’s own ranks.
Ongoing price cuts have made existing AMD CPUs appear increasingly attractive, and for those thousands of users who looked on during times of extreme shortage, now might be the opportune moment to pounce.
Perusing today’s pricing and availability reveals the 12-core, 24-thread Ryzen 9 5900X is down to a lowest-ever Amazon price of £359.99. A hugely tempting proposition, the second-best consumer Ryzen CPU touts a 4.8GHz top speed and a customary 105W TDP.

The 12-core part would arguably be our pick of the bunch, but there’s further enticement above and below. AMD’s range-topping 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X has landed at a new low of £496.64, while the eight-core Ryzen 7 5800X can be snapped up for £309.98 – a 26 per cent discount over AMD’s 2020 launch price.
Want to keep costs down further? Even the six-core Ryzen 5 5600X is offering renewed interest, with prices falling from £279.99 to just £210. Ryzen 7000 Series is now on the horizon, but there’s plenty of fuel left in the 5000 Series tank, and at these prices it may be worth taking a new CPU for a spin.
