Currently, the PC industry is moving through a new socket change on both Intel and AMD CPUs, as both of the respective companies' latest generation of CPUs require the latest motherboard sockets. Support for these latest sockets is expected to last until at least 2028, meaning if you grab one of the new AMD Zen 5, or Intel Arrow Lake CPUs, along with a respective motherboard, you will have a compatible motherboard for future generations of CPUs until at least 2028.

Below are some of the best deals on AMD CPUs currently available on Amazon, with some of the models, particularly the Zen 3-based Ryzen 5000 series CPUs, being discounted by as much as 56%. Notably, the Zen 3-based CPUs use the previous generation AM4 socket. AMD's Zen 4 and Zen 5 desktop CPUs require the latest AM5 socket.
