If you have an AM4-based PC and feel like it could benefit from a few extra horsepower (or you want to build one), don’t overlook this deal on AMD’s 8-core, 16-thread Ryzn 7 5800X processor. It’s available now on Amazon with a whopping 61% discount, allowing you to get a beefy modern processor with enough power for years to come For only $175Just $1 more than its lowest price since late 2023.

Out of the box, the Ryzen 7 5800X runs at a maximum boost of 4.7GHz. However, if you have a solid motherboard and decent cooling, you can push the CPU beyond these speeds and get even more performance without spending extra. The CPU also supports PCIe 4.0 when paired with compatible motherboards, giving you access to fast SSD drives and powerful graphics cards with DirectX storage support.

Also, thanks to AMD’s famous backwards compatibility, there’s no need to buy new memory or a motherboard – the Ryzen 7 5800X supports DDR4 RAM and most AM4-based boards (up to the 300 series, albeit with limited feature support). Just keep in mind that the CPU has no cooling, and you need an air cooler or AIO capable of dissipating at least 105W TDP (preferably more).
