The Ryzen 5950X is now on sale from an authorized retailer at a price that makes 16 cores hard to resist. Antonline has the flagship CPU on sale at its eBay store for $700, along with impressive discounts on other models in the Ryzen 5000 Series.
Without a doubt, it’s awesome to see the Ryzen 5000 Series not only in stock, but on sale now after supply issues for nearly a whole year. If you were trying to get either the six-core 5600X back or eight-core 5800X in the first half of this year, those eventually became easy enough to find by spring. There were even some sales this summer that made the Ryzen 5000 Series an obvious choice for performance, efficiency, and overall value.
However, the top-end Ryzen models including the 5600X and 5950X remained a little more difficult to acquire due to overwhelming demand and limited to supply. This kept the prices at MSRP until recently when apparently too many 5900X CPUs sitting around on shelves caused prices to drop. Now, even the almighty Ryzen 5950X can be had for $100 off the MSRP price.
Get the Ryzen 5950x on sale for its lowest price ever
While Antonline has a full website, you’ll need to head over to the eBay store to get the exclusive discount. Fortunately, there’s no difference to consumers for using eBay since the company is an authorized reseller. Aside from the 5950X, Antonline is also selling the 5800X and 5600X for aggressively low prices that you can otherwise only get from Micro Center in person. If you’d like the 5900X, that too is also on sale, but you’ll need to hit up Best Buy’s website for that one.
- Ryzen 5950X – $699 at Antonline (eBay)
- Ryzen 5900X – $500 at Best Buy
- Ryzen 5800X – $350 at Antonline (eBay)
- Ryzen 5600X – $260 at Antonline (eBay)
At these prices, you really can’t go wrong with whatever you choose, provided it suits your needs. The 6-core 5600X offers the most value for casual gamers, but those looking to future-proof for a couple extra years can grab the 8-core 5800X. The 5900X is one of the best gaming CPUs, as it offers about the same high-refresh rates as the 5950X and more than enough cores to handle games and multi-tasking. The 5950X is the cream of the crop though for those who want something to handle intense workloads or high-refresh gaming combined with high-quality streaming and the like.
And remember, many retailers offer price match guarantees if you have a preferred computer hardware vendor. If you want an AMD Ryzen 5950X for this price, you might want to jump on it before availability runs out.
Please note that all prices are in USD..
