https://www.pcgamer.com/check-out-these-deals-on-amds-second-generation-ryzen-processors/ > While Intel is thumping its chest over its new 9th generation Core processor lineup, and the 8-core/16-thread Core i9-9900K in particular, there are some good bargains to be had on AMD's second generation Ryzen lineup. These are great processors for gaming, even if testing ultimately shows Intel's are faster (we'll know soon enough). > To get your hands on an 8-core 9th gen chip from Intel, you're looking at spending over $400, and over $500 if you want the model that supports Hyper Threading. Meanwhile, AMD's Ryzen 7 2700X is on sale for $294.99 on Amazon right now. That's not the lowest it's ever been, but outside of brief dips, this is a $300 to $320 processor normally.
