Old Ryzen AM4 CPUs top US, UK Amazon charts as DDR5 pricing pushes buyers to last-gen platform — DDR4-friendly Ryzen 5 5800X, XT claim spots in the top 5

Older AMD Ryzen AM4 CPUs like the Ryzen 5 5800X and XT are leading in Amazon US and UK sales due to rising DDR5 memory prices. The ongoing memory crisis has pushed buyers towards DDR4-friendly processors, as DDR5 kits now cost more than a PlayStation 5. Despite the older architecture, these CPUs are popular among budget-conscious PC builders. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D, a discontinued model, is now selling for high prices in the secondhand market. The 5800X and 5800XT offer good gaming performance at more affordable prices compared to newer models.
