The world’s fastest desktop gaming CPU, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, continues to be listed on Amazon at its launch price of $479, but its 8-core, 16-thread configuration either means that it will be out of reach of plenty of buyers or there will be some customers looking for more cores to sate their multi-threaded requirements. For such people, we are happy to inform you that a total of four ‘non-X3D’ processors hailing from AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series of processors are available at up to $90 on Amazon.
Best of all, the 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 9 9950X is also available, so if you want the absolute best experience from a core count ‘point of view, this option is an excellent choice. Thanks to its $55 price cut, the purchase will be easy on your wallet. However, if you want the highest discount possible, there is no better choice than the 12-core, 24-thread Ryzen 9 9900X, which is listed for $409.99 on the online retailer.
Given the hefty price difference between the two chips, if you want to optimize your savings and invest the remaining amount in something else, the Ryzen 9 9900X delivers the best ‘price to performance’ ratio. Regarding the more affordable options, the Ryzen 7 9700X, with its 8-core and 16-thread configuration, is available for $329, making it an exact $150 difference between it and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
Of course, the Ryzen 5 9600X is a great starting point, with the 6-core and 12-thread processor discounted by 12 percent, with its newest price being $245 on Amazon. Just like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s price, the figures provided below have a tendency to change often, so it is best to refresh the product page before proceeding with a purchase.
