If you’re in the process of building a new gaming PC, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D<\/a> should be your top CPU pick, especially with the new sale going at Amazon. For a limited time, this CPU has dropped to $429.95 with free shipping, which is the lowest price I’ve seen since its launch. Even better, it comes with a free voucher code for the highly anticipated Crimson Desert<\/a> game, which will be released on March 19. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is widely considered to be one of the best gaming processors on the market and outperforms even pricier AMD and Intel CPUs.<\/p>\n

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D boasts a max boost clock of 5.2GHz with 8 cores, 16 threads, and 104MB of L2-L3 cache. What really makes it excel in games, however, is the 3D-V-Cache technology that’s only found in AMD’s X3D lineup. Despite being the least expensive processor in this stack, the 9800X3D performs nearly identically in games compared to its more expensive siblings. It has the fewest number of cores, but that doesn’t matter for gaming. On Passmark<\/a>, the 9800X3D has the second highest gaming score, trailing a mere 300 points behind the considerably pricier 9900X3D.<\/p>\n

Note that there’s a new 9850X3D that’s now available. We reviewed it<\/a> and, short answer, you’re not missing out.<\/p>\n
