Yesterday, AMD announced its Zen 5-based Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, the first in the X3D lineup, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads with 3D V-Cache technology. Following the launch, AMD is now offering generous discounts on existing Ryzen 9000 CPUs, which include all four SKUs.
The discounted CPUs can be purchased from either Amazon or Newegg, but the latter is offering a higher price cut on AMD Ryzen 9 9900X. The rest are listed at the same prices.
- Ryzen 9 9950X: $599, MSRP: $649- Amazon, Newegg

- Ryzen 7 9700X: $327, MSRP: $359- Amazon, Newegg
- Ryzen 5 9600X: $249, MSRP: $279- Amazon, Newegg
AMD Ryzen 9 9900X dropping to just $382 is one of the best deals you can have. The processor comes with a solid 12-core/24-thread configuration, 80 MB cache, and up to 5.7 GHz of boost clock. Whether you are seeking enthusiast-level gaming or a high-end productivity experience, the 9900X will be a perfect fit.
If you need more cores, consider going with the Ryzen 9950X, which is now at a $50 discount compared to its MSRP. The processor is incredibly fast in rendering, compilation, compression/decompression, and other such CPU-oriented tasks and outperforms the Core Ultra 9 285K in gaming.
The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is another attractive high-end 8-core processor, which offers great multitasking and productivity performance. However, the Ryzen 5 9600X is more appealing at $249, which delivers great gaming performance and can handle high-end GPUs quite comfortably.
The current discounts are beneficial for users who are looking to build a powerful modern gaming system while allowing them to invest the rest of their savings in better GPUs. Compared to Core Ultra 200S CPUs, they are not only faster but are cheaper as well. In case you are looking to maximize gaming performance, you should wait for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which is set to launch on 7th November.
