At Best Buy, AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is available for $200.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X’s regular price has been reduced by $100 thanks to Best Buy; North American buyers can now buy these 6-core/12-thread CPUs for $199.90 each. Amazon US initially matched the consumer electronics retailer’s deal on pricing, however their supplies ran out sometime this afternoon. Since the MSRP ($229) for AMD’s Ryzen 5 7600 (non-X) processor has not changed, the X-model sibling offers a superior value at the time being. Since Team Red does not include a Wraith Stealth or Prism air cooler as part of the Ryzen 5 7600X’s retail packaging, buyers will need to spend extra on a CPU cooling solution. The Starfield Game Bundle cooperation campaign between AMD and Bethesda began last week, and all desktop Ryzen 7000-series AM5 machines are eligible for the ongoing deal. This helps to increase customer interest, but a good deal also helps, as evidenced by the rapid demand for Amazon’s Ryzen 5 7600X supplies.
