$430 (was $479)
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is one of the newest in the burgeoning line of 3D V-Cache CPUs, with each one proving to be an essential part of an enthusiast-gaming PC. It was the first to feature AMD’s 2nd-generation 3D V-Cache technology, with AMD saying that the 9800X3D is, on average, 8% faster than the previous generation’s 7800X3D, which itself was widely viewed as the best CPU on the market for gaming.
The 9800X3D has a base clock speed of 4.7GHz, with a boost to 5.2GHz and a TDP of 120W. It was the first X3D chip with overclocking, allowing enthusiasts to squeeze even more out of the silicon with meaningful tweaks. The processing cores were redesigned using AMD’s Zen 5 architecture. In addition to top-notch gaming performance, the 8-core, 16-thread CPU offers a marked improvement in productivity performance.
The 9800X3D is the fastest gaming CPU on the market today. Earlier this year, AMD released a pair of Ryzen 9 3D V-Cache CPUs that have similarly robust specs, just with more of a productivity focus over gaming. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D is available for $588 at Amazon, while the more popular 9950X3D is priced at $664 (was $699). But if you’re looking for a gaming processor for a high-end rig, the 9800X3D is the best option on the AMD side.
