Early prime deals have been spotted with some incredible discounts on 12th and 13th Gen chips with the Intel Core i9-13900KF CPU available for under $400.
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days haven’t officially started yet, but early Prime deals are already appearing on the website with some great offers. We have spotted some great deals on high-end and flagship processors from both the Alder and Raptor Lake families. While not every processor from these two generations is on discount, there are at least ten SKUs that are currently heavily discounted. Here are all the CPUs with their discounted pricing as of writing this and MSRP.
| CPUs | Prime Deals Prices (10/5/24) | MSRP |
| Core i7-12700KF | $166 | $429 |
| Core i7-12700K | $189 | $449 |
| Core i5-13600K | $218 | $329 |
| Core i9-12900KF | $248 | $620 |
| Core i7-13700KF | $260 | $394 |
| Core i7-13700K | $309 | $419 |
| Core i9-13900KF | $389 | $574 |
| Core i7-12700KF | $416 | $599 |
Should you get Intel 12th and 13th Gen CPUs?
Even though these CPUs are usually priced lower than their MSRP, the current Amazon Prime deals offer even greater discounts. With the Alder Lake Core i7 12700K and Core i7 12700KF, you’ll get a 12-core, 24-thread configuration with overclocking capabilities for sub-$200 prices. The KF edition lacks an integrated GPU, making it the most affordable option. Users can build a pretty solid gaming build by pairing the i7-12700K with something like an RTX 4070 Super OC.
On the other hand, you can also get the Core i9 13900K and the Core i9 13900KF editions at a discounted price of $416 and $389 respectively. The Core i9 13900K/KF is among the fastest Intel processors for mainstream desktop users, boasting 24 cores and 32 threads with clock speeds reaching up to 5.80 GHz.
While Intel’s 13th Gen CPUs have experienced performance and stability issues, Gigabyte has confirmed that all such problems have been resolved with the final update. Apart from heavy discounts on CPUs, AMD Radeon RX 7000 GPUs are also experiencing price cuts which can also be a great option to pair your new processors with.
