Amazon Gaming Week is live with countless deals on hardware and accessories.
While there are certainly some great Gaming Week deals available at other retailers, Amazon seems to be focused on offering PC build hardware at the lowest prices ever.
👉 Amazon Gaming Week is LIVE — Hand-picked deals with price-busting competitors that you can’t miss!
A bunch of AMD Ryzen processors have been discounted to the lowest price I’ve ever seen at Amazon — I checked CamelCamelCamel pricing history to be sure — making it a great time to pick up a new chip for your PC.

I’ve been sure to note which AMD Ryzen CPUs are at their lowest price ever, and I’ve included price checks from competing retailers.
NOTE: AMD has bundled a free copy of Monster Hunter Wilds with these discounted CPUs at Amazon.
Best AMD Ryzen deals during Amazon Gaming Week
Which discounted AMD Ryzen CPU is best for you?
Which discounted AMD CPU you choose ultimately depends on how much you’re willing to spend and what level of performance you want to achieve.
For anyone who wants to buy at the lowest price ever, the Ryzen 5 9600X, Ryzen 9 9900X, and Ryzen 9 9950X are the best options.
Even the 9600X at $185 is going to be able to handle 1080p and 1440p gaming when paired with a capable GPU, but you can move up to the Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 if you need more cores for creative and development work.
AMD’s Ryzen 7 7700X, Ryzen 7 9700X, and Ryzen 9 7950X aren’t at their lowest prices ever, but the deals are still the best I’ve seen in months.
The 7000-series chips are built on the Zen 4 architecture, so if you’d like to grab the Zen 5 enhancements — like better power efficiency and slightly improved performance — you’ll have to stick with the 9000 series.
You definitely don’t need to grab a Zen 5 chip, as Zen 4 hardware is still potent.
