AMD CPUS SERIES
Despite the same $570 price tag as in the previous guide, Intel's 13th Gen Core series offers support for both DDR5 and DDR4 memory, allowing users to either go for the latest and greatest Z790 and DDR5 for a top-tier desktop system or opt for a cheaper route and go for the previous generations Intel 600 series chipsets and more affordable DDR4 memory. Previously, Intel's latest Raptor Lake-based Core i9-13900K (8P+16E/32T) sat at #11 in our last gaming CPU guide, but it has risen to take the number two spot. It's no secret that times are tough, and with prices on AM4 motherboards at an all-time low, coupled with DDR4 and Zen 3 chips also being low, it's a perfect time to capitalize on the value offered from AMD.ĭigesting the Amazon best-selling processors, the top 10 look like this: Top 10 Best Sellers, () In fact, the Ryzen 5000 series takes six of the top ten best-selling CPUs at Amazon, seemingly a market signal that more users are building more affordable systems on the cheaper AM4/DDR4 platform. While not technically the best for gaming, the Ryzen 5 5600X offers exceptional value at its current selling price of $157 at Amazon. AMD's previous Ryzen 5000 series takes center stage, starting with the current best-seller, the Ryzen 5 5600X (6C/12T), based on AMD's Zen 3 microarchitecture, which has moved up from #4. Since our last guide, Amazon's top 10 best sellers (at the time of writing) have changed drastically over the last few months, with some interesting things to note and some new inclusions to the list. Notable chips include AMD's original 3D V-Cache laden chip, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which has 8 cores with 16 threads, with 96 MB of 元 cache available for specific games/titles that are optimized for it.Ī short overview of the best sellers updates: This, coupled with price drops with Intel and AMD focusing on pushing its latest technologies and architectures, means users can grab a bargain with prices dropping (and fluctuating) all of the time. Some of its biggest performers from their previous generations can be paired up with cheaper DDR4 memory, which is at its lowest price in a long time. One potential choice for users looking to buy a new CPU is that Intel and AMD's previous generations (12th Gen Core series and Ryzen 5000) offer more value than ever before. Intel undoubtedly brings its Raptor Lake architecture to the forefront with its first-ever 6 GHz processor, the Core i9-13900KS, which caters to gamers and the enthusiast market too, with binned silicon designed to offer ultimate levels of compute performance from a desktop platform. The latter is directly targeted at gamers, with an edge in titles that can utilize large pools of 元 cache. Since our previous guide, both Intel and AMD have launched two top-tier processors with exceptional gaming performance to the market, the Intel Core i9-13900KS and, more recently, AMD's gaming-centric Ryzen 9 7950X3D with its 3D V-Cache packaging technology. Depending on the task at hand, Intel and AMD have strong line-ups with multiple generations of its processors, with both the latest 13th Gen core series (Raptor Lake) and the Ryzen 7000 series (Zen 4/Rapael) leading the charge at the top of the performance charts.
The CPU market towards the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 has been topsy-turvy, to say the least, with many viable options available for users to build a new system. Moving into the warmer and more picturesque spring season, the weather isn't the only thing hotting up. All numbers in the text are updated to reflect pricing at the time of writing.
