The best value eight-core Ryzen CPU is heavily discounted in the UK.
With the newRyzen 7000X3D processors arriving today, it’s perhaps not surprising to see last-gen models reaching new price lows. That’s the case for the Ryzen 5700X, one of the fastest eight-core Ryzen CPUs ever made (behind the 7700X, 5800X and 5800X3D) and now firmly a member of the sub-£200 club. In fact, this processor is down to £177 at Amazon UK at present, meaning it’s rapidly approaching half of its £329 UK RRP.
Yes, I know the CPU pictured is the 5800X. Please don’t tell anyone! I didn’t think you’d look at it that closely.

The 5700X is likely a good choice for someone running a Ryzen 1700X, 2600 or 3600 that wants a meaningful upgrade but doesn’t quite have the budget to stretch to the£305 5800X3Dfor that maxed out AM4 gaming performance. Not all motherboards that support the earlier Ryzen CPUs will also support Ryzen 5000, but even some first-gen Ryzen boards can make the jump so it’s worth seeing what BIOS versions are available for yours. Normally, the name of your motherboard (as reported in the likes of CPU-z) and “Ryzen 5000” or “Ryzen 5800X” should be sufficient. Of course, checking outour guide to the best gaming CPUscould also be great food for thought!
In any case, that just about does it for now, so thanks for joining me and I’ll catch you again soon! It’s my birthday tomorrow, so I won’t be on for Tuesday, but I’ll be back on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to close out my shifts for the week. Cheers for reading and see you next time!
