AH Real Deal: Grab The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D While You Can

When it comes to PC gaming if you’re looking to build a beast of a PC, you want the best components possible, and the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is arguably the best CPU on the market that you can get for gaming. It’s the fastest gaming CPU available and widely recognized as the top-tier option. While it isn’t on sale at the moment and is still available at the full retail price of $479, it’s still a good price.

For one, this CPU is fairly new, and since it launched it’s been hard to get a hold of. So the fact that it’s available feels almost like a miracle. It’s also been quite a bit higher than $479 in the past month due to scalpers trying to resell it for higher prices. Which only added to the difficulty of getting one if you wanted to upgrade to it.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a boost frequency of 5.2GHz. It also has 96MB of L3 cache and improved thermal performance compared to previous models. Slot this into your PC and enjoy the smoother performance of games with faster load times and even better frame rates. You should also get decent thermals with it if your cooling setup is on point. Keep in mind this does not come with a cooler so you will need one to go with it.

You’ll also want to make sure that this is compatible with your current components if you’re not planning to upgrade anything other than the CPU. That being said, if you want the best CPU for gaming right now, this is it.
