For a few weeks, it made little sense to upgrade to AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D as your daily gaming driver because the desktop processor was available to purchase on Amazon at an exorbitant price that was upwards of $700. Thankfully, sanity has prevailed and after being patient for a significantly long time, we are glad to report that the CPU is now available for $479 on the online retailer. While the aforementioned figure does not come with a discount, some potential buyers might still consider this a steal because of the premium that they were forced to pay earlier.
However, we should warn you that just before reporting about this deal, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D was available on Amazon with a 6 percent discount, meaning that it could have been yours for $449. Unfortunately, given the unprecedented demand for this processor, it is unsurprising to see that the price continues to fluctuate. The component was the most popular ‘Zen 5’ CPU in Germany, and in our review, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D impressed us greatly. After all, being equipped with an 8-core and 16-thread configuration is not the only metric that will determine gaming performance.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is also equipped with 96MB of L3 cache, along with reaching up to 5.20GHz. On Amazon, the product has a 4.8-star rating, with 93 percent of buyers giving the processor a 5-star rating, which is more than sufficient evidence concerning its capabilities. The only drawback is that with how rapidly the price changes on Amazon, it can become frustrating to take advantage of an offer like this, but if you remain focused and keep your lightning-fast fingers ready on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer, you will be on your way to becoming the proud owner of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
Also, if somehow the price of the processor does increase, which it will, you can get yourself the second-fastest gaming processor on the planet at this time, which is the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, for $449 on Amazon, so we will update readers on when they can get a hold of the discount at a later time.
