AMD’s latest processor line, the Ryzen 9000 (codenamed Granite Ridge) series, has just hit an all-time low. We’ve seen discounts on both Amazon and Newegg for the Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X, and the Ryzen 5 9600X, meaning now is the best time to shop for a new AM5 processor if you’re looking to upgrade your PC unless you’re waiting for the Ryzen 7 9800X3, which will come out next week).
Team Red instituted an early holiday promo that started on October 20. The promo gave a $50 discount on the Ryzen 9 9950X and $30 off for the rest of the 9000 series chips. The Ryzen 9 9900X and Ryzen 7 9700X chips received an additional price cut from retailers, especially with the former getting $116.45 off its initial price—massive savings for more RAM and storage or maybe even buying a higher-tier GPU.
