Released alongside the Ryzen 5 5500 in early April this year, the Ryzen 5 5600 had a launch price of US$199. The Amazon list price has the same value right now, but the ongoing 41% discount brings it down to a wallet-friendly US$118. Two processor & motherboard bundles are also available for around US$320.https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-5-5600-price-drops-41-on-Amazon.672131.0.html
It has not dropped in UK to that price lmao
As practice has shown, AMD motherboards are always much more expensive than the same Intel version in terms of class. As a result, it turns out that the sum of prices for the processor + motherboard comes out the same with apparent savings on the processor compared to Intel.
Ya not sure where you're seeing those discounts bud. Still $149
