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 CPU? The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D AM5 desktop processor is back in stock at its MSRP of $479 at Amazon and Best Buy (Best Buy may require queueing). This is a fantastic deal on the current best gaming processor, outperforming both AMD and Intel competitors.

Highlight: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Desktop Processor

AMD's X3D series excels in gaming, surpassing even AMD's top-tier CPUs thanks to 3D V-Cache technology. While capable of multitasking, its core count makes it less ideal for intensive rendering or content creation. At $479, it's significantly cheaper than the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K ($589) and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, yet delivers superior gaming performance. Unless you're a dedicated Intel user or are committed to AM4, the 9800X3D is the clear winner for your next gaming build.
