- A Reddit consumer noticed AMD’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D at an astonishingly low value at a Walmart retailer
- A equally deep low cost on Intel’s i5 14600K was seen on the identical retailer
- This comes amid Nvidia and AMD’s preparation for brand spanking new GPU launches
At a time when the hunt for the most recent Nvidia and AMD GPUs is probably at its best amongst PC avid gamers, you will not be holding an eye fixed out for CPU offers – however one fortunate particular person has shared what may very well be the very best CPU low cost of the yr to date.
As reported by VideoCardz, a Redditor noticed AMD’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D at a Walmart retailer that was discounted to $99.75 (pictured under) because of its PC division closure – an unlimited low cost from its common listed value of $399 (£419.99 / AU$780).
The AMD chip is lauded as probably the greatest gaming processors, boasting eight cores and 16 threads in addition to a 4.20GHz clock velocity, so that is an absolute steal to say the least.
It is secure to say that you’re going to possible by no means discover it at such a low value once more. It is not uncommon for some listed costs for PC {hardware} at on-line retailers to drop far under retail value by mistake (with some orders nonetheless honored at that value), however it is a totally different case as it is a authentic value drop in-store for whoever grabs it first.
An analogous low cost was obtainable on Intel‘s i5 14600K which dropped to an insane $77.25 down from $309 (£229.99 / AU$419.99) – this packs 14 cores and 20 threads, ultimate for gaming and multitasking duties. The Redditor didn’t specify which Walmart retailer this was at, and there’s sadly no signal of such deep value cuts making their option to on-line retailers – as a lot as I might like to see that.
If solely this might occur to GPUs…
Over on the GPU facet of issues, Nvidia’s RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are already out within the wild, however you are in all probability not going to seek out any of them at MSRP because of scalpers and an especially restricted provide.

The remainder of the RTX 5000 lineup is quick approaching, with the RTX 5070 Ti confirmed to be launching on February 20 and the RTX 5070 following on March 5 – these will go up in opposition to AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 collection playing cards that are additionally because of launch in early March, and given the present state of the market, I might think about the scalpers might be arduous at ‘work’ once more.
With this contemporary inflow of playing cards, I hope we see vital value drops for each Nvidia’s RTX 4000 collection and AMD’s Radeon RX 7000 collection – whereas we’re unlikely to see reductions as steep because the aforementioned value minimize on the 7800X3D, I do not suppose it is an excessive amount of to count on some extra cheap pricing – in spite of everything, it’s nonetheless tough to seek out an RTX 4090 under its authentic launch value, even two years after its launch.
We all know that the RTX 4000 collection is generally discontinued at this level since Crew Inexperienced stopped manufacturing of most Lovelace GPUs in preparation for the RTX 5000 collection – so if we’re going to start out seeing value drops on third-party playing cards at on-line retailers, it needs to be quickly.
