Ryzen 9 5950X, 5900X and Ryzen 7 5800X see big price drops in UK

Matthew Wilson April 19, 2022 CPU, Featured Tech News

We're months away from the launch of Zen 4 and next-gen Ryzen desktop processors, but the current Ryzen 5000 series processors are still great options for a CPU upgrade. Currently, pricing for the high-end Ryzen 5000 series chips has dropped considerably too. 

While reviewing the Ryzen 7 5800X3D recently, we made a note of current prices for the Ryzen 5800X and 5950X, versus the competition from Intel. Currently, the Core i7-12700K comes in at £380 and the Core i9-12900K is £550, meanwhile, we are seeing some very competitive prices for the top-end Ryzen chips.

At Overclockers UK currently, the 8-core Ryzen 7 5800X is down from £389.99 to £319.99, while the 12-core Ryzen 5900X has dropped from £529.99 to £359.99. Finally, the top-end, 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X is down from £730 to £499.99.

This follows on from the recent launch of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the first Ryzen processor with 3D Cache. Currently, that processor should cost around £410 in the UK.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
