As we touched upon above, the main difference between Prime Day PC deals in 2022 and the last prior sales is the declining prices on graphics cards across the board. While GPUs haven’t quite returned to MSRP wholesale in the US and UK, the rates are far closer to what Nvidia and AMD originally intended with the RTX 30 series and the Radeon RX 6000 line launched just shy of two years ago. It’s currently unknown as to whether we’ll get graphics card deals over Prime Day, however, seeing as video cards have been selling at MSRP from specific retailers, albeit short-lived, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the likes of RTX 3070 stock and RTX 3080 stock discounted further.

We’ve seen many of both the latest Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processors reach their historic lowest prices throughout 2022, so it stands to reason that Prime Day PC deals could match, or even exceed, these aggressive rates. With the 12th gen Intel CPUs being the newer of the two, it’s far more likely that the deepest savings will be reserved for the Ryzen 5000 series, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see the the likes of the Alder Lake i5 and i7 coming below the $250 and $325 figure respectively. Regardless of which corner you’re in for your next chipset, Prime Day should offer an ample opportunity to invest in the heart of your machine at a great rate.
