Deal | AMD Ryzen 7 5800X available for $177.50 on Amazon

Introduced in November 2000, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X remains a strong product in the desktop processors category on Amazon, with over 2,000 units sold in the past month. However, the 60% discount currently shown is misleading. While the discount is applied to the $449 list value, that figure was actually the selling price for the last time back in mid-2022. On the other hand, Camelcamelcamel displays an average of $200.06 for this piece of hardware, so the current price of $177.50 is certainly a good deal, especially when taking into account the all-time low value of $174.

Until today, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X has managed to gather no less than 18,927 user ratings on Amazon and has an excellent general rating of 4.8/5, the same as one year ago. Its younger sibling, which uses AMD's 3D stacking technology, has the same list price of $449 but is currently available for $327.77. However, the problem is that it is not offering a performance increase worth the price difference, which is also shown by its popularity. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D only has a 27% discount, and the sales figure for the last 30 days is somewhere between 500 and 1,000.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X comes unlocked and ships without a cooling solution. While AMD recommends using a high-end cooling solution, there is no specific recommendation of a liquid cooler involved. The video below should give everyone a better idea of how the 5800X stacks up against two of its younger "3D" siblings when facing several gaming scenarios.
