I love bundle deals, and Newegg currently has a great deal going on one of AMD’s more affordable Ryzen 5000 CPUs, plus a handy free gift of some RAM at a solid price. The 5700X is a frequently recommended processor in these areas as it’s the cheapest CPU offered by AMD with eight cores and 16 threads, and taking into account this offer from Newegg, it’s down to $170.
Having an 8C/16T CPU is useful if you’re going to be using all of this, which can include more intensive workloads like AAA gaming, as well as heavier content creation workloads that can include things like transcoding and video editing. The 5700X also comes with a boost clock of 4.6GHz, which makes it particularly fast. Taking all of this into account, you’ve got a particularly powerful and fast processor at a great price.
With that in mind, the 5700X offers an incredible price-performance ratio for those more intensive workloads. If you want better gaming performance than the 5700X you’ll have to spend a bit more on AMD’s -X3D chips or Ryzen 7000 processors. The price of these chips is coming down, but then you have to deal with building a new system on a new platform. Plus, it’s still quite expensive to get the most out of it with the latest PCIe 5.0 SSD and DDR5 RAM, even if their respective component prices are still falling.
So, for most people, the 5700X is still a more than capable processor. Motherboard compatibility is not an issue, with a huge range of B550 and X570 options available, with the full range of modern features in terms of ports and connectivity, without breaking the bank. Plus, it’s gotten to the point where other components can be found for reasonable money such as PCIe 4.0 storage, although you won’t have to worry about buying RAM from elsewhere, given that this 5700X comes with 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3200 RAM which offers a great combo of plenty of headroom and sensible transfer rates, maximising performance without costing too much.
If you’re looking to get a great bundle from Newegg on AMD’s solid 5700X and some free RAM, look no further than this current deal.
