I’ve been putting off upgrading my CPU for months, mostly because I convinced myself that six cores was still fine. But Amazon’s latest Ryzen sale is making that logic harder to defend. Right now, you can grab a serious lineup of AMD desktop processors for up to 57% off. The Ryzen 7 5700X is down to just $129.25, and the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X has dropped to $526. That’s not small change. It’s one of the better CPU sales I’ve seen in months.
This lineup covers pretty much every need. For gaming, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the clear standout. It’s not the newest on the list, but its 96MB of L3 cache gives it a real edge in titles that rely heavily on CPU latency. If your build leans AM4, the 5700X and 5800XT are strong alternatives, still capable of 100+ FPS performance and way more affordable.

With up to 32 threads, they’ll handle heavy workflows without slowing down. In my opinion, they’re some of the best chips on this list for futureproofing. You’ll pay more up front, but you’ll spend less time staring at loading bars down the line.

For photo and video editors, the Ryzen 9 7950X and 9950X make a lot of sense. Both offer high clock speeds, huge cache, and the kind of processing headroom that can keep up with 4K timelines and batch exports. If you’re dealing with larger creative projects, these CPUs will save you more time than any sale ever could.
And yes, the Ryzen 5 5500 is only $74. I wouldn’t build a rig around it in 2025, but it's still serviceable for basic builds or upgrades on a tight budget, especially with the Wraith cooler included.
Just one caveat. Before you check out, make sure your motherboard is compatible. Ryzen CPUs use either AM4 or AM5 sockets depending on the generation, and they’re not cross-compatible. Buying the wrong one means either a return or a surprise motherboard upgrade you didn’t budget for.
