CPU Prices: AMD and Intel Processors
This page tracks what processors cost right now. Pick AMD or Intel below and you get every CPU we track, sorted cheapest first, with each chip's lowest current price across the stores we follow.
The lists show more than price. Each row has price per core, socket, core and thread count, boost clock, L3 cache, TDP, and whether the chip has integrated graphics or ships with a cooler. That makes it easy to spot a cheap chip that needs a separate graphics card or cooler you hadn't budgeted for.
We check every listing at least twice a day and keep the full price history. Open any CPU to see its price chart before you buy. Prices are the latest we've seen, so click through for the store's current price.

Is price per core a good way to compare CPUs?
It's a quick filter, not a verdict. Price per core rewards chips with many slow cores. Use it to shortlist, then check boost clock and cache for the games or apps you run.
Do I need a new motherboard with a new CPU?
Only if the socket changes. Match the socket column here to your board, or browse motherboard prices by socket.
How often are CPU prices updated?
At least twice a day. See How PriceSniff works for the full method.
