Flagship Zen 5 CPU Hits Record Low
AMD’s 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D has dropped to its lowest recorded US price. Both Amazon and Newegg are now offering the processor for $569—a $130 discount from its $699 launch price and $5 below the previous low of $573.99 from April.
The Amazon deal requires a coupon to be enabled before payment, but the processor is sold and shipped directly by Amazon. Newegg matches the $569 price after applying promo code BTS21, which removes $130 from the listed $699 price. The Newegg offer also includes a Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 CPU AIO cooler at no extra cost—a $79.99 value.
Specs at a Glance
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D features:
- 16 Zen 5 cores, 32 threads
- Boost clock up to 5.7 GHz
- 128MB L3 cache + 16MB L2 cache (144MB total)
- 170W TDP
- AM5 socket, DDR5 memory support
- No cooler included in the box
Which Deal Is Better?
Both retailers offer the same all-time-low price on the processor itself. The Amazon deal is straightforward—just the CPU at $569 with a coupon. The Newegg bundle adds significant value with the free 240mm AIO cooler for the same price, provided the BTS21 promo code remains active.
For builders planning a high-end AM5 system, the Newegg bundle is the better choice. The included 240mm liquid cooler is adequate for the 170W TDP chip, saving you nearly $80 on cooling.
