12 and 16 core AMD processors down to record low prices on Amazon
AM4 has to be one of the longest supported platforms in computing history. Having originally launched in September 2016 the venerable socket is now over 8 years old, but despite its age, is still highly potent.
Whether you are looking to build a budget PC from scratch, or want to upgrade your older AM4 CPU, there are some outstanding deals on AMD processors on Amazon right now. Particularly if you are looking to go higher than 8 cores.
While pretty much every AMD CPU is discounted to some degree, you can pick up 12 and 16 core CPUs with some significant savings if you are prepared to step away from the bleeding edge.
