As the availability of computer hardware has improved, so too have prices, and now Amazon is offering the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core 12-thread processor for $174.99 shipped. Launching at $299 and more regularly sitting between $200 and $260 over the past few months, today’s discount marks a new all-time low price we’ve tracked for this processor ahead of the launch of AMD’s 7000 series CPUs set to debut this fall. Looking to build a solid gaming rig? The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a great option with its 6-cores and 12-threads paired with a boost clock of up to 4.6GHz with stock settings, as this CPU does support overclocking if you have enough cooling and a motherboard that supports it. You’ll also find PCIe 4.0 support for both your M.2 NVMe storage and graphics cards for maximum throughput.
