AMD's budget Ryzen 5 5500 briefly outsells 9800X3D on Amazon

AMD's Ryzen 5 5500, an $80 DDR4 CPU, briefly topped Amazon's best-seller list, surpassing even the high-end Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This highlights the continued demand for older DDR4 platforms, nearly four years after the introduction of DDR5.
