A few rare occasions has seen the world’s fastest gaming processor, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, receive some healthy discounts over a period of a couple of months, but those offers would often need to be spotted by an eagle-eye, which was a difficult feat, considering that those price cuts would vanish almost immediately. Today, you get another crack at the 8-core, 16-thread desktop CPU, which is currently listed on Amazon for $441.94 after an 8 percent discount.
Regardless if the savings are not hefty, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D continues to be in huge demand, so it is understandable why the processor does not get price drops constantly. If you are starting out with a completely new PC build, you have to purchase a cooler separately because this part does not ship with one. However, once everything is properly installed, you will be off to the races because with the help of a capable graphics card, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D can deliver some of the highest framerates in modern-day games.
Do not let its 8-core and 16-thread configuration fool you, because it has successfully beaten several multi-core desktop CPUs by a considerable margin, and all of this is thanks to AMD’s 3D V-Cache approach, which bumps the L3 cache count to 96MB. Furthermore, its base clock of 4.70GHz and boost clock of 5.20GHz ensure top-notch performance alongside the increased cache, making it one heck of a lethal combination.
The only time you will witness the limitations of those 8 cores and 16 threads is when you fire up something exceptionally demanding that is not a modern-day game, and if you want to futureproof yourself from that scenario, we recommend getting the 12-core, 24-thread Ryzen 9 9900X3D, which is currently not discounted on Amazon, and is available at its MSRP of $599.
