The golden opportunity to grab any one of AMD’s fastest desktop processors on Amazon is today because the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is down to its original launch price of $479, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is available to boost your framerate for just $359 after a 20 percent discount. This is one of those rare occasions where both desktop processors are available at ‘lower than expected’ prices, but to be fair, these changes were unsurprising given that the online retailer continues to witness a haphazard variation in these figures.
However, if we were you, we would not waste any precious time because both the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Ryzen 7 7800X3D have a habit of either going out of stock or seeing their prices skyrocket to ludicrous levels. There have been instances where the Ryzen 7 9800X3D was offered for $700 and more, and for a processor that offers an 8-core and 16-thread configuration, the price bump is just not worth it, irrespective of the advantages it offers.
For those fortunate enough to grab any unit for themselves, the 96MB of L3 cache present in both gaming processors is the secret sauce that allows these chips to deliver those incredible framerates that you have seen in benchmarks over and over again. It is worth remembering that in case both of these go out of stock, you can always get the Ryzen 9 9900X, which offers a 12-core and 24-thread configuration, but compromises on the L3 cache with its 76MB offering, Regardless, it is still an exceptional alternative, with Amazon listing it for $401.75.
