This story is part of the Digital Trends Amazon Prime Day Coverage 2024

If you’re a gamer who’s been searching for a faster CPU that doesn’t cost more than a few hundred bucks, now is the perfect time to score  during Prime Big Deal Days. This rapid processor is going viral on TikTok, thanks to clock speeds up to 5.4 GHz to eliminate lag in games that don’t use multiple cores.

For games that do use several cores, the 7700X comes with eight cores and 16 threads. By spreading the processing load across so many cores and threads, the 7700X avoids getting bogged down by overloading a single core. The multitude of cores and threads also makes the 7700X ideal for streamers since you can record gameplay, operate a webcam, and run a game simultaneously — all for $155 off during Prime Big Deal Days.

Dial Up the Speed at a Great Price for Prime Big Deal Days

Gamers on TikTok agree that the 7 7700X delivers on speed and puts extra power at your fingertips with the capability of overclocking, in which you can extract even more performance beyond the CPU’s default specifications. The 7700X doesn’t come with a CPU cooler but is compatible with a number of aftermarket models, so you can dial up the cooling if you plan to overclock. Likewise, you can opt to save power by engaging the 7700X’s “eco mode” via Ryzen’s tuning software.

Either way, load times under default settings are fast thanks to the DDR5 memory’s low latency and high bandwidth. Meanwhile, the PCIe 5.0 high-speed data transfer system is the most recent industry standard, so you can rest assured your 7700X will be supported for years to come.

And while your GPU will play a larger part in gaming resolution, the processing power from the 7700X can support gaming in 1080p, 1440p, and even 4K. According to our editor Jon Martindale’s experience with this processor, “The 7700X is efficient, pulling 10% to 20% less power during almost every task. If you want a great CPU that’s easy to upgrade in the future, the 7700X is a great buy.”

Although the $400 CPU market is competitive, the limited-time 39% discount during Prime Big Deal Days during October 8 and 9 makes the 7700X a no-brainer for gamers, streamers, and content creators.
