The arrival of the Ryzen 7000 and the launch of Intel Core Gen13 created significant competition in the general consumer CPU sector, a reality that ultimately led AMD to reduce the price of the Ryzen 5000although it has not done so equally in all markets and we can safely say that the most popular market in this regard is the United States of America.

On AMD’s official website in the United States, we can see the Ryzen 5000 price dropped as much as $250, depending on the model we want to buy. The discounts that AMD has applied are huge, making the Ryzen 5000 a very interesting option due to its good price/performance ratio and also because the cost of its platform is clearly lower than the current generation.

Let’s look at the Ryzen 5000 price, before and after of the discounts that AMD has applied to better understand why we say that they have become very interesting options.

• Ryzen 9 5950X: Was $799 and dropped to $549.
• Ryzen 9 5900X: It was priced at $549 and is now $349.
• Ryzen 7 5800X3D: was priced at $449, now available for $329.
• Ryzen 7 5800X – This chip was $449 and is now available for $249.
• Ryzen 5 5600X: The processor that hit the market for $299 is now $159.

It is important that you keep in mind that prices in the United States do not include tax, although it is true that even with Ryzen 5000 prices are very “tasty”. If we look at the Spanish market, we see that there were also more or less interesting discounts:

• Ryzen 9 5950X: reduced to 647.5 euros.
• Ryzen 9 5900X: on offer for 435 euros.
• Ryzen 7 5800X3D: Its price is 496.52 euros.
• Ryzen 7 5800X: dropped to 295 euros.
• Ryzen 7 5700X: is on sale for 274.9 euros.
• Ryzen 5 5600X: It costs 199.89 euros.
• Ryzen 5 5600: available for €154.89.
• Ryzen 5 5500: reduced to 105 euros.

It is strange that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is more expensive than the Ryzen 9 5900X because the former has 8 cores and 16 threads and the latter has 12 cores and 24 threads. There is no doubt that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D perform better in games thanks to its 3D cache but The Ryzen 9 5900X is a more versatile and powerful processor It is used for both play and work.

At only 105 euros, the Ryzen 5 5500 is a very interesting option, especially for to give a second life to the team based on the AM4 platform or build a cheap but powerful PC. It has 6 cores and 12 threads and uses the Zen 3 architecture, but only has 16 MB of L3 cache, so it has less performance than the Ryzen 5 5600.

With the prices we have now in this sector, and with the recent decline experienced by the Ryzen 5000, there is no doubt that they are an option to consider. However, it is important that you keep this in mind there is a possibility that prices will fall further when Intel Core Gen13 multiplier locked series (non-K series) are released.
