"AMD Ryzen CPUs see significant price drops for gaming performance boost"
The Ryzen 7 5800X processor from AMD, with eight cores and 16 threads, is now available at half price, marking 50% off RRP in the UK and a $249 price tag in the US. Despite being a 2020 model, the chip continues to deliver high performance and is a welcome drop-in upgrade for those already invested in the AM4 platform. With the 5800X and other discounted PC components, it's now possible to build a highly competent gaming rig for under £500.
