At this point, it is just common behavior for popular desktop processors to continue to fluctuate in prices on Amazon, and AMD’s latest and greatest CPU for gaming, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, is no exception. Only yesterday, when we were talking about the Ryzen 7 7800X3D being available at a discounted price, its successor dropped to $539 on the online retailer today. Keep in mind that the aforementioned figure is higher than its launch price, but when you consider that just 24 hours ago, the same chip was priced at $200 more, some buyers might give this upgrade a strong consideration.
Even then, we will advise customers to look for alternatives like the previous-generation Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which continues to be listed for an incredibly low $359 on Amazon, or even the newer Ryzen 9 9900X, which offers a 12-core and 24-thread configuration, for an astounding $309 after a 38 percent price reduction. However, if your heart continues to beat for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, then we will not stop you but encourage you to check out our review of the processor because it is a phenomenal performer in the latest AAA titles.
Not only does the CPU have a slightly higher boost clock at 5.20GHz while supporting DDR5 RAM at 5,600MHz, but its L3 cache stands at 96MB, giving it an edge against the competition. Additionally, you will not require a beefy cooler to tame the Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s temperatures because its default TDP is 120W. What we will recommend readers do is make sure to keep a close eye on the delivery date, as the processor is expected to reach you between January 8 and January 17. Additionally, price changes can happen without any warning, so it is best to make a purchase immediately if you do not wish to regret waiting.
