Best Black Friday CPU deals 2019: Top AMD Ryzen and Intel Core processors The best US processor deals from Amazon, Ebay and Rakuten. Deals by Will Judd Deputy Editor, Digital Foundry Updated on 28 Nov 2019 While graphics card deals have been the stars of Black Friday 2019 thus far, plenty of AMD Ryzen processors have been discounted too. If you're building a PC, this represents one of the best times to pick up a new CPU. Here are the best deals on AMD Ryzen processors - and some Intel Core competitors - that we've found so far. First, let's take a look at the third-gen Ryzen deals. These CPUs use the company's new Zen 2 cores, which provide significantly better single-threaded performance thanks to their larger cache and the transition to a 7nm manufacturing process.
