The Intel 13th & 12th Gen CPUs are seeing some incredible discounts as part of Amazon's Prime Day Deals with the 13900KF available for $389.
Several Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake and 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs are available for major discounts on Amazon
The Amazon Prime Deals Days are close but there are several early Prime Deals that are irresistible. We are trying to monitor the prices of the PC hardware to make sure we can provide you with the lowest prices ever. Fortunately, we have stumbled upon some great deals on Intel's 12th and 13th-generation CPUs that are cheaper than you can find on any other retail website.
While not every processor from these two generations is on discount, there are at least ten SKUs we have discovered you can buy at heavy discounts. These are mostly the high-end and flagship processors from both Alder and Raptor Lake families. Here are the CPUs with their respective discounted prices as found at the time of writing:
| CPUs | Prime Deals Prices (10/4/24) | 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 i9-13900K | $416 | $599 |
Even though these processors were cheaper than their listed MSRP outside of the Prime Deals, the current deals will provide you with even more significant discounts, which won't last forever.
The Alder Lake Core i7 12700K and Core i7 12700KF are some of the best budget gaming CPUs right now for these sub-$200 prices. Users will get a solid 12-core/24-thread configuration with overclockability. The KF edition has no iGPU and is, therefore, the cheapest of all. Users can build a solid mid-range gaming build with either of these CPUs paired with something like an RTX 4070 Super, which is one of the best graphics cards to buy right now.
For better gaming and superior productivity, the Core i7 13700K is an excellent choice, which is retailing at just $309, which is roughly $100 less than its launch price. It has four more efficient cores and higher clock speeds than the i7 12700K. If you want the same performance but for $50 cheaper, get the Core i7 13700KF, which is the same chip but without the iGPU.
The next two CPUs are the Core i9 13900K and the Core i9 13900KF editions retailing for $416 and $389 respectively. This is one of the lowest prices we have seen for these processors, which are down from a nearly $600 price tag. The Core i9 13900K/KF is one of the fastest Intel chips for mainstream desktop users, featuring 24 cores and 32 threads at clock speeds of up to 5.80 GHz.
Apart from this wonderful deal on Intel processors, we have also posted about the discounted AMD Radeon RX 7000 GPUs, which will be a great fit for your gaming builds. Just make sure that you are all set with the latest BIOS updates to mitigate all potential instability issues that can affect these chips, more on that here. Stay tuned for more such amazing Prime Deals in the coming days as these are just the beginning.
