Upgrade your desktop with one of the first discounts on AMD’s Ryzen 5 5600X at $280
Amazon is offering the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core 12-thread 3.7GHz Desktop Processor for *$279.99 shipped*. This is a $20 discount and marks the lowest price that we’ve tracked at Amazon, though we have seen it fetch $10 less once before. As AMD’s “fastest six core processor” to date, the Ryzen 5 5600X has been touted as one of the best CPUs for gaming, and after spending several months with it, I can attest to that. Even when using an older graphics card, I can play many games at 1080p ultra 144+ FPS, with some even letting me hit 1440p 144+ FPS. All six cores and 12 threads are unlocked, feature a boost of 4.6GHz, and can even be overclocked from the factory. Rated 4.8/5 stars from thousands of happy gamers, is a #1 best-seller at Amazon, and you can take a closer look in our hands-on review.
