AMD’s Ryzen 9 9900X Offers More Cores Than The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Is Always In Stock, And Most Importantly, Is More Than $90 Off On Amazon Right Now

There is no denying that AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the fastest gaming processor on the market, so we will not attempt to give you this impression that the Ryzen 9 9900X, despite its higher 12-core and 24-thread count, is superior to the company’s ‘X3D’ range of chips in this particular category. However, when was the last time you actually saw the Ryzen 7 9800X3D available at a discount, or at the very least, listed on Amazon at its launch price?

The chances that this processor is available at its original retail price are rare, with discounts only arriving when the stars favor you. Currently, the cheapest offer from third-party sellers is $569.67, so if you consider the Ryzen 9 9900X’s $405.29 price on the online retailer after a 19 percent discount, you save at the minimum $164.38, which can be re-invested in a GPU purchase. Let us be honest, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will not be the deciding factor in high framerates; that will be the graphics processor.

Also, what if you want to carry out tasks other than gaming on your powerful workstation? The additional cores belonging to the Ryzen 9 9900X are going to come in real handy there. We should not forget that this processor’s 76MB L3 cache means that the chip is not going to be a slouch in the performance department, though the 96MB belonging to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still towers over it. The money saved can also go into a new motherboard purchase, assuming you have yet to make that upgrade, and we have included a value-focused item from ASUS that you can check out below.
