Right now at Newegg, you may find quite a few AMD processors for some notably low prices. This includes a wide range of stock starting with AM4 Ryzen 5000 series processors all the way up to some of the latest AM5 Ryzen 8000G series. Discounts vary across the board but we’ll highlight a few notable deals that you won’t want to miss out on.
Your best budget option right now is the 6-coreAMD Ryzen 5 5500, an AM4 processor that can reach up to 4.2 GHz. When using promo codeGUDDQA69, you can snag this CPU for $92. A step up from the Ryzen 5 5500 is theAMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D, an 8-core processor that can reach 4.1 GHz, which is $241 when you use promo codeGUDDQA77. For those looking for something strong on the performance end, theAMD Ryzen 9 5950Xis listed for just $372 with promo codeGUDDQA65.

This processor on its own isn’t half bad, getting 3.5 out of 5 stars from us when we reviewed it but this discount makes it even more worthy of a closer look.
The AMD Ryzen 7000 series is also part of the site-wide price drop. The 5.0 GHz AMDRyzen 7 7800X3Dwith 3D V-Cache is listed for just $399. For a little bit less, you can find theAMD Ryzen 9 7900, a 12-core AM5 processor, priced at $354 when you use promo code GUDDQA74 at checkout.

Promo codeGUDDQA78will save you an extra $5 off its asking price, putting it at $224.
