Get ready, AMD fans, because the Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” CPUs are starting to pop up on retailer listings ahead of their official launch – and the latest one to make an appearance is the Ryzen 5 9600X.
Designed for the AM5 Desktop platform, the Ryzen 5 9600X packs a punch with 6 cores, 12 threads, a boost clock of up to 5.4 GHz, 38 MB of total cache, and a TDP of 65W. This CPU is a solid choice for gamers and multitaskers looking to upgrade to the latest Ryzen technology without breaking the bank.
Deal Targets is the retailer brave enough to spill the beans on the Ryzen 5 9600X, offering it up for $295.22 US – that’s $5 less than the Ryzen 5 7600X’s MSRP. Want a better deal? Buy in bulk and enjoy discounts of up to 3%, bringing the price down to just $286 US.
But before you hit that buy button, consider this – older Ryzen chips are currently on sale at rock-bottom prices.

This puts the new Ryzen 9000 CPUs in a tough spot, especially when the Ryzen 5 7600X can be found for under $200 US.
And if the Ryzen 5 9600X has you intrigued, keep an eye out for more upcoming Ryzen CPUs like the Ryzen 9 9900X and Ryzen 9 5900XT, listed on Amazon’s European outlets for launch on July 31st.
