Deal | AMD Ryzen 5 5600X drops to an all-time low US$133.08

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X will celebrate its 3rd anniversary in November, but now there's a reason for those interested in it to have a party. The reason is the ongoing Prime Day Deal that has pushed the price of this processor down by a massive 57%. Thanks to this discount, the 6-core, 12-thread Ryzen 5 5600X can be acquired for just US$133.08, which is the lowest price it had since it launched, according to Camelcamelcamel.

The Amazon price tracking platform mentioned above has not refreshed the lowest price yet, so it still shows US$148.99 as the best deal for this processor. However, this is a value that was recorded roughly a month ago, more specifically on June 7. The average price of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is, based on the last 50 price changes, a very reasonable US$157.93. Last but not the least, its Amazon list price is US$309, which is US$10 higher than the November 2020 launch price.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X comes bundled with a Wraith Stealth air cooler and has received no less than 21,075 user reviews on Amazon so far. The result of these ratings is an impressive 4.8/5, with 90% perfect scores and 7% 4/5-star ratings. Its product page lists a few bundles that pair it with a few popular motherboards as well, starting with the US$292.65 offering that places the Ryzen 5 5600X next to the Asus Prime B550-PLUS.
