The launch of the gaming-focused Ryzen 9 9900X3D gives consumers more cores and cache to not just tackle intensive tasks but to also get higher framerate in games, but AMD’s latest release cannot be for everyone thanks to its higher price. Thankfully, if you do not want to compromise on the core count but have a little flexibility in sacrificing a little performance over a decent chunk of savings, the Ryzen 9 9900X with its 12-core and 24-thread configuration is currently going for $365.55 on Amazon after a 26 percent discount.
Fortunately, a massive price cut is not the only favor being given to customers by the online retailer because you get to avail a free copy of Monster Hunter Wilds with every purchase. Keep in mind that this is a limited-time offer, and you cannot expect to wait around and believe that this deal will be in a perpetual state. As for the other specifications, the Ryzen 9 9900X has a base clock of 4.40GHz, with a maximum boost clock of 5.60GHz and a 64MB L3 cache.
Even though the Ryzen 9 9900X3D has a lower maximum boost clock speed than the Ryzen 9 9900X at 5.50GHz while operating at the same 4.40GHz base frequency, its L3 cache of 128MB is what sets it apart from the ‘non X3D’ chips. Then again, to experience this level of performance requires you to cough up a hefty premium, and if you are comfortable with that, you will find the $599 price appealing. However, if you wish to prioritize maximum savings, you can utilize the price cut of the Ryzen 9 9900X to purchase a compatible motherboard or any other component.
