Ryzen 5 9600X gets a major price cut and a second chance
Featuring 6 cores and 12 threads, the Ryzen 5 9600X is a solid mainstream CPU that’s now available at its lowest price yet, $223 on Amazon. We weren’t kind to the 9600X in our launch review, but that’s because it was far more expensive than the 7600X it was replacing. Now that they’re nearly a match, it’s worth taking a look.
