AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D: Top Gaming CPU Now Available at Amazon, Best Buy

Author : Claire Apr 09,2025

If you're in the midst of assembling a new gaming PC and searching for the top gaming processor, look no further. The recently released AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D AM5 desktop processor is currently back in stock at Amazon for its retail price of $479, with shipping included. This is the official launch price, with no additional markup and no unwanted bundled items. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D stands out as the premier gaming processor on the market, surpassing even the pricier Intel Core Ultra 9 285K in performance.

Update: It's also available at Best Buy, though you might need to join a queue.**

Highlight: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Desktop Processor

AMD's X3D series processors are specifically engineered for gaming, outpacing even the highest-end standard CPUs from AMD due to the innovative 3D V-Cache technology. While capable of multitasking, rendering, and creative work, the processor's core count makes it less ideal for these tasks. At a retail price of $479, the 9800X3D is not only $110 less expensive than the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K ($589) but also $170 less than the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, while delivering superior gaming performance. Unless you're a dedicated Intel enthusiast or still using an AM4 platform and reluctant to upgrade, the 9800X3D is the clear choice for your next gaming setup.

"The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D delivers exceptional gaming performance, making it a more compelling choice than other recent processors like the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or Ryzen 9 9900X. If you're building a rig with a high-end graphics card, the 9800X3D will maximize the performance of your GPU."
