For reasons that may or may not have anything to directly do with the launch of Intel’s new 12th Gen Core “Alder Lake” processors, retailers have begun applying generous discounts to select AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processors. These include Micro Center, which is currently offering the 8C/16T Ryzen 7 5800X for $299.99 ($150.00 off). The sale is notable, being that the MSRP of this chip is $449.
Other notable offers include the Ryzen 7 5700G, which is now available for $279.99 ($80.00 off), as well as the Ryzen 5 5600G, which is now available for $199.99 ($60.00 off).
