Deal | Budget-friendly AMD Ryzen 5 5500 price drops a massive 38% to below US$100 on Amazon

AMD released the Ryzen 5 5500 in 2021 for US$159. The processor is a cut-down Ryzen 5 5600G with the iGPU disabled and clock speeds reduced. The result is a chip that often performs on par with the Ryzen 5 5600G but losses out to the less expensive Core i3-12100 in gaming, making the processor a bad deal at its retail price.

Rumor: TSMC could cut 3 nm wafer prices to allow for orders from big clients like AMD and Nvidia

As of now, the only firm orders for 3 nm wafers received by TSMC come from Apple and Broadcom, while most of the other big clients are not thrilled about the high production costs. Industry sources are suggesting that TSMC could be looking to lower 3 nm wafer prices to attract orders from AMD and Nvidia, maybe even from Qualcomm and MediaTek.

AMD Ryzen 7 7700 65 W Ryzen 7000 Review: Able Core i9-12900K and Core i5-13600K challenger that is US$70 less than Ryzen 7 7700X

Raphael without the X factor. The AMD 65 W Ryzen 7000 non-X lineup seeks to make Zen 4 available at more affordable price points. Today, we test the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and see how it performs vis-à-vis its higher TDP cousins and also against the Intel Raptor Lake competition. While the Ryzen 7 7700 can get you near-Core i9-12900K performance for US$70 less than the Ryzen 7 7700X's MSRP, extraneous factors such as high DDR5 prices can put a spanner in the works.

Unexpectedly lousy Zen 4 sales could hit AMD hard as the company is projected to lose millions in Q4 2022

According to Q3 2022 financial figures released by AMD, the company’s Data Center, Gaming, and Embedded Systems segments performed well. But the Client segment which includes consumer CPUs like the Ryzen 6000 series took a significant hit due to a weak PC market. Furthermore, the company is also expecting a less-than-ideal Q4 2022, possibly due to bad Zen 4 sales.

Can't decide between the Ryzen 7 6800H or Ryzen 9 6900HX? Do yourself and your wallet a favor by just going with the Ryzen 7 6800H because the Ryzen 9 6900HX may as well just be the same processor.
