By the accounts of the majority of reviewers, AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best desktop processor on the market right now if your primary goal is to experience those insanely high framerates. No other CPU out there can match those capabilities, and best of all, if you have been eyeing this upgrade for the last month, today is your lucky day because Amazon has shaved 8 percent from the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, bringing its price down to $441.04.
If you think 8 percent is too small of a discount to be jumping all over the place, you should know that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D barely gets knocked down, and it hovers around its MSRP of $479. The only time we see listings below $400 is when third-party sellers try to part customers away from their hard-earned cash. We will always recommend readers triple-check that when it comes to purchasing ‘in demand’ chips like these, Amazon fulfills the component’s shipment.
Despite being an 8-core, 16-thread desktop processor, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D punches way above its weight class and successfully manages to outperform multi-core CPUs in games. Now what is that? It is all thanks to AMD’s implementation of 3D V-Cache technology, which enables the company to incorporate a higher L3 cache. Going over the specifications, you will notice that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D features 96MB of L3 cache, with its clock speeds able to reach 5.20GHz as long as there is adequate cooling.
While a $441.04 total might be considered a bargain for some, there are those who do not mind picking out a previous-generation processor and keeping their wallet thick for when something else shows up. For such readers, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is an excellent pick as it is currently listed on Amazon for $384.99 after a 14 percent discount and is a solid upgrade if you want to boost your existing framerate. It is only marginally slower than the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, so it is not like you will give up a ton of performance for the savings you will pocket.
