This early Prime Day deal makes this AMD Ryzen 5 7600X a bargain from Amazon

If you’re wanting to jump into the world of AM5 at an affordable cost, then the Ryzen 5 7600 is well worth a look, as you can get in on a modern PC build on the cheap with a potent six core/12 thread CPU that’s a handy, affordable all-rounder for games, content creation and more besides.

From Amazon at the moment, this chip is £133, marking out its lowest price in quite some time. This chip originally debuted in September 2022 at a price of nearly £250, making this a serious deal.

The 7600X comes with six cores and 12 threads, as well as a boost clock of 5.3GHz, making it an especially snappy processor that’s suitable for a wide range of intense workloads. This proved true in Will’s review and testing, where the 7600X provided some high flying results in the likes of Flight Simulator 2020. At 1080p, the 7600X served up a result of 59fps with 5200MT/s RAM, while with a 6000MT/s kit it reached 65fps in the same test. Intriguingly, these results make for some of the best that we’ve seen in FS 2020 and some distance ahead of last-gen options, certainly proving that the 7600X is a worthy choice for gaming. With this in mind, it’s the chip’s single core performance that helps to push it ahead of both AMD’s own chips and some of Intel’s best from the past too, such as the 12700K, while also pushing close to the 12900K, too.
