Amazon's CPU deals are offering up some of the newest AMD and Intel processors for their lowest ever prices in the Prime Day PC deals.
The deepest discount of these CPU deals is reserved for the high-end AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, armed with 12-cores and 24 threads, that's now only $364.99 (was $570) (opens in new tab). This Zen 3 chipset has never sold below the $385 mark until today, so you're getting the best price available, and the lowest rate we're able to verify here.
Also of note is the Intel Core i5-12600KF, which has also reached a historic low price, at just $229 (was $311) (opens in new tab) in these Prime Day offers. The mid-tier Alder Lake chipset previously sold at the $253 mark late last month, but you're getting a further $24 off here with this deal today. If you've wanted PCIe 5.0 bandwidth and DDR5 support for less, then this is one discount to keep close in consideration.
If you want to save money on portable gaming hardware then we advise you to turn your attention to the regularly updated Prime Day gaming laptop deals. We're seeing some of the most aggressive rates on notebooks rocking the latest CPUs from both Team Red and Team Green here, too.
