Forget Black Friday, Amazon's Big Spring Sale is offering some of the best PC deals currently available. Notably, the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X has dropped below $400 for the first time, and we're seeing record-low prices on the 9950X, 9700X, and 9600X as well.

While not discounted, the highly sought-after Ryzen 7 9800X3D is back in stock at most major retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and Newegg. It was previously sold out almost everywhere, and this might be the last chance in a long time to snag it at its $479 MSRP.

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and 9900X Spring Deals: Save Up to $130

The Ryzen 9 9950X and 9900X have been on sale multiple times, but this is the first time they have dipped this low. The Ryzen 9 9950X is now just $529, down from its $649 MSRP—an even better deal than the $564 it was in the previous sale. The 9950X brings a 16-core, 32-thread configuration with a max boost clock of up to 5.7 GHz and 64MB L3 Cache. It's the best AMD CPU if you're looking for both a gaming and productivity powerhouse.

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X desktop CPU is the top-of-the-line offering in the latest Ryzen 9000 series of processors. It comes with 16 cores, 32 threads, and a boost clock speed of 5.7 GHz. The CPU has 64MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 170W.

A $130 spring sale discount has also dropped the Ryzen 9 9900X to its lowest price since launch. In fact, this is the first time it's available for under $400, coming in at only $20 more than the Ryzen 9 7900X ($348 on Amazon at the time of writing) it replaced. With up to a 5.6 GHz boost clock and the impressive efficiency of AMD's latest architecture, the 9900X is an excellent alternative if you want bleeding-edge productivity and gaming performance at a great price.

Save Up to $70 on the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X

If you're hunting for a budget-friendly CPU, the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X are also seeing massive discounts during the Amazon Big Spring Sale. AMD's Ryzen 7 models are popular among gamers, and you can snag the latest one for just $289, saving a whopping $70 off its list price. While it's been overshadowed by the beastly Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the 9700X is a stellar gaming CPU too, and even more impressive when you factor in its productivity performance.

Normally priced at $279, the Ryzen 5 9600X is now $221 after a $58 markdown. While entry-level, this CPU packs a great punch, offering excellent gaming capabilities at a significantly lower cost. AMD claims it can push over 100 FPS in most games, so you can't go wrong, especially if you pair it with a good GPU. The previous-gen Ryzen 5 7600X is also on sale on Amazon for $208. However, for roughly the same price, I'd choose the newer and more efficient 9600X.
