Save big on some of the best gaming processors with these Prime Day CPU deals
Intel Comet Lake chips get some of the best Prime Day deals
If you're looking to build a gaming PC on Amazon Prime Day, finding a good CPU deal is a big deal – especially with how expensive graphics cards are right now. Luckily, Intel's 10th-generation Core processors have some pretty sweet deals right now.
For Amazon Prime Day, you can get the Intel Core i7-10700KF for just $239, which is probably the best CPU deal you're going to find for Prime Day. And, if you need an integrated GPU, you can get the Intel Core i7-10700K for just a bit more at $259. And, if you're going to need some extra multi-threaded performance, you can get the Intel Core i9-10850K for just $314.
Intel Core i7-10700KF Desktop Processor 8 Cores, 125W, up to 5.1GHz Unlocked, Intel 400 Series Chipset: $361.00 $239.99 at Amazon
Save 34% - Take advantage deal before it's too late. The Intel Core i7-10700K includes eight cores and 16 threads and is compatible with the Intel 400 series chipset-based motherboards. Supports Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology and Intel Optane Memory.
- Here are the best processors you can buy today
While all three of these processors are last-generation tech, they're still definitely worth a look, especially at this price. To put it in perspective, the Intel Core i7-10700KF is just a bit slower than the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, but this Prime Day deal makes it a full $160 cheaper. That's more cash you can put down towards a new graphics card.
The only real downside to going with one of these 10th-gen Intel processors is that you're not going to get PCIe 4.0 compatibility. But, realistically speaking, we're still a couple years away from that becoming noticeable in day-to-day workloads.

Intel Core i9-10850K | $399 $314 at Amazon
Out of stock - While the Intel Core i9-10900K was the Comet Lake flagship, the slightly binned Core i9-10850K is basically the same chip, just with a a lower max turbo boost. But at 5.2GHz instead of 5.3GHz, you're going to get pretty much the same performance, just at a lower price.
