If you have been waiting for a great CPU deal, now is the time to act and buy the world's fastest gaming processor for $45 less.
Newegg Sheds $45 From AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, Resulting in Price Drop $499 to just $454, Allowing Gamers to Save and Build the Fastest Gaming Build
AMD did a wonderful job with the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, delivering even better gaming performance than the 9800X3D could. Even though the performance difference isn't huge, the 9850X3D has successfully dethroned the 9800X3D as the best gaming processor. The CPU launched earlier this year at a price tag of $499. Due to being more expensive than the 9800X3D, many didn't pay attention to the 9850X3D and have been buying the 9800X3D due to better performance per dollar.
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has also been dropping in prices since the launch of 9850X3D, but the latter hardly saw any discounts in recent months. But things aren't the same anymore. We just stumbled upon the Newegg listing where the Ryzen 7 9850X3D has now dropped to the lowest ever. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D usually stays in the $490-$500 price range, but the CPU is listed at just $474 on Newegg.
Moreover, with a $20 promo code, the processor drops to just $454, which is the lowest since its launch. We usually see AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D listed at around $450 on major retailers, which means the 9850X3D now makes more sense for a similar price. The Ryzen 7 9850X3D brings the same 8-core/16-thread arrangement based on the Zen 5 architecture, but offers superior clock speeds.
The processor can boost up to 5.6 GHz, which is a good 400 MHz higher than the boost clock of Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Due to the additional 400 MHz boost, the 9850X3D can deliver superior performance in both gaming and productivity. The good part is that such improvements were made without increasing the TDP, and the 9850X3D operates at the same 120W TDP as the 9800X3D. If you have been owning an AM5 platform with a Ryzen 7000 series processor, it's the best time to upgrade to 9850X3D if you want leading gaming performance at 1080p.
