Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days extravaganza has barely begun, and I have found a great AMD CPU deal that’s equally tempting to power users and gamers alike.

You see, AMD’s Ryzen 9 7900X chip is something of a beast. 12 cores and 24 threads make light work of rendering and everyday applications, whilst the proven benefits of the 7000 Series architecture are clear to see in gaming.

Topping out at 5.6GHz, single-core performance remains robust, too. In fact, at current prices, it’s hard to find a weakness in this CPU’s considerable arsenal.

One could argue the launch $549 / £549 launch price was a little steep, but that’s where Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days comes in. Over in the USA, Amazon is selling this powerhouse chip for a scant $322, representing a massive 41% discount on RRP. Even in good-ol’ Blighty, the chip is readily available for just £266. That’s less than half price!

If you want to spend a little less, let me point you the way of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. Featuring eight cores and 16 threads on top of 105W TDP, with frequencies ranging from 3GHz to 4.1GHz, its secret weapon is the whopping 96MB of L3 Cache, making it wonderful at gaming. US residents can nab the chip for just under $190.

Ryzen 9 7900X and Ryzen 7 5700X3D are but two of many great deals on for the next two days. An Amazon Prime subscription is required to be eligible for Prime Day 2024 deals. However, new customers can try the service for 30 days free of charge, which will give them access to all these exclusives.
