Amazon's CPU deals currently feature the new lowest prices (as far as we can tell) on the latest chipsets from both Intel and AMD. Right now, you can get your hands on the stellar Intel Core i9-12900K for a record-low price of $583 (was $707.50) or a saving of $124.50. That's a few dollars cheaper than what we've come across in the past, and a significant saving that takes team blue's flagship chipset well below the $618 level that it was previously (In and out of stock) floating at. If you've wanted the prowess of a 16-core PCIe 5.0 compatible processor, then this could be the perfect time to invest. 

We're also seeing some of AMD's best CPUs for gaming at new historic low rates as well. If you're after the best bang for your buck then the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X for only $222.10 (was $309) is one hell of an aggressive rate. This is the cheapest that we've ever seen the entry-level processor listed for, beating the previous lowest rate by $7 and falling well below the $228 price point where this has hovered for months.

What's more, the stellar AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is down to only $399 (was $570) for a $171 discount. This CPU deal is significant because it marks the first time that the enthusiast-level processor has been available for under $400. The chipset has hovered around the $430 range throughout April, so you're saving an additional $31 from that price here. 

Should you be after discounts on ready-made machines running these CPUs instead of the individual components, then we're also rounding up the best cheap gaming PC deals and best cheap gaming laptop deals in April, too.
