Finding Ryzen 7 9800X3D at MSRP is a rare find, but getting one with a discount has proven near-impossible as demand for the processor shows no signs of slowing. However, good things come to those who wait and now AMD’s fastest gaming CPU can be yours if you’re quick enough and have some sterling to spend.
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
“There’s little doubt that Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming processor on the market.” Read our review.
You can grab Ryzen 7 9800X3D from Amazon UK for £419.99, netting a 7% (£30.01) discount from its RRP. This may not sound like much but this marks the lowest ever price for the chip on the storefront.
To the untrained eye, Ryzen 7 9800X3D isn’t too far removed from Ryzen 7 9700X. Both have eight Zen 5 cores and 16 threads and offer boost clocks within 300MHz of one another. However, 3D V-Cache makes all the difference in separating these processors as the X3D CPU boasts an enormous 96MB of L3 cache.
Take one look at 3D V-Cache in action and it should become immediately obvious why Ryzen 7 9800X3D is proving popular among gamers. This technology helps the processor outperform flagship chips in the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail according to our tests. Some games will take a liking to the extra L3 cache more than others, but it makes all the difference in those that do.
You will need to source your own cooler for Ryzen 7 9800X3D and while it’s not a massively difficult processor to tame, you’ll want as high performance cooling as you can muster. Thankfully, if you already have AM5 compatible equipment at your disposal, it’ll take to the CPU with no qualms. On that same note, your motherboard will likely play nice with the chip but you might need to apply a BIOS update before installation.
