The New AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Is the Best Gaming CPU, and It's Back in Stock on Amazon and Best Buy

Looking for the ultimate gaming processor? The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D AM5 desktop processor is back in stock at Amazon and Best Buy at its MSRP of $479. This isn't a bundled deal; it's the processor at its launch price.

Update: Best Buy also carries it, but expect potential wait times.

Highlight: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Desktop Processor

AMD's X3D series excels in gaming, outperforming even AMD's top-tier standard CPUs thanks to 3D V-Cache technology. While capable of multitasking, rendering, and content creation, its core count makes it less ideal for those intensive tasks. At $479, it undercuts the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K ($589) and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X ($650) while delivering superior gaming performance. Unless you're a die-hard Intel fan or are committed to AM4, the 9800X3D is the top choice for your next gaming PC.

"The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is exceptionally powerful in games, making it a more compelling choice than processors like the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or Ryzen 9 9900X. Especially when paired with a high-end graphics card, the 9800X3D maximizes GPU performance."
