Prime Day CPU deals offset DDR5 costs as Ryzen 7 5800X3D remains scarce

Amazon Prime Day is offering deals on CPUs that support DDR5 memory, aiming to offset the higher cost of this newer RAM standard.

These deals allow consumers to build or upgrade to a DDR5 platform for a comparable or even lower cost than the elusive 5800X3D, while gaining access to more powerful processors. AI
