AMD's Ryzen 9000 (codenamed Granite Ridge) series, among the best CPUs, has dropped to its lowest-ever prices at Micro Center—listed for up to 28% lower than their launch prices, which should increase AM5 adoption rates.
The market initially ignored Zen 5 at launch owing to lackluster gains in performance value and the lack of an incentive for existing AM5 owners. However, retailers seem to be pulling out all the stops to encourage new PC builders to choose Zen 5 over Intel's Core Ultra 200S (codenamed Arrow Lake) CPUs.
