As you can see in the above image, AMD\u2019s Ryzen 7 5800X is now the best-selling CPU on Amazon UK<\/a>, and it\u2019s not the only Socket AM4 chip selling in large numbers. The 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, which we listed on our guide to buying the best DDR4 CPU, is at number five. At number 8, you\u2019ll also find the 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT, which has an integrated Radeon Vega 7 GPU.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not to say people aren\u2019t buying AMD\u2019s latest chips \u2013 the acclaimed Ryzen 7 9800X3D<\/a> is still putting in a strong showing at number two, as is the new Ryzen 9 9950X3D<\/a> at number seven. As we saw in the December 2025 Steam Survey<\/a>, there isn\u2019t a single Intel CPU in the Amazon UK top 10 right now. <\/p>\n It\u2019s a slightly different situation on Amazon US<\/a>, where 9800X3D still holds the top spot. However, there are still four AM4 CPUs in the top 10 here, where the even-older Ryzen 5 3600 currently occupies the number five spot, thanks to an incredibly low price of just $74.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n With memory prices continuing to rocket, and expected to do so throughout 2026 and beyond, we anticipate seeing more of these market anomalies, where old products suddenly become popular again. You might get a modest performance bump by upgrading from a Zen 3 to Zen 5 system, but it\u2019s often not big enough to justify the huge cost of the DDR5 memory you\u2019d need to buy with it. <\/p>\n We\u2019ve already called for AMD to resurrect Ryzen 7 5800X3D<\/a> in response to the situation, and there\u2019s word that Asus is making more DDR4 motherboards<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n For more of the latest tech gossip, make sure you follow our Google News feed by clicking the button below.
