9800X3D hits lowest price
AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D just dropped to its lowest-ever price on Amazon — a $60 discount on the 8-core, 16-thread chip with a 5.2 GHz boost and big 3D cache that made it a go-to gaming CPU. If you’re shopping for a cache‑heavy chip for gaming and streaming, this is a notable short‑term value play. (tomshardware.com)
Amazon’s product page currently lists the Ryzen 7 9800X3D at $419.95 and flags the listing as an active Amazon offer. (amazon.com) The CPU launched with a $479 MSRP in November 2024, placing the current asking price well below its original launch tag. (guru3d.com) Price trackers show recent rapid movement: CamelCamelCamel and other trackers record previous dips into the $420–$440 band and indicate the latest sub-$420 mark is the lowest recorded Amazon price for this SKU. (camelcamelcamel.com) AMD’s newer Ryzen 7 9850X3D is currently listed around $499, creating roughly an $80 retail gap to the 9800X3D and leaving the older model as the cheaper 8‑core X3D option for gaming-focused buyers. (videocardz.com) Some retailers and observers link the price slide to broader lineup shifts after the 9850X3D debut and improving stock levels that have pushed the 9800X3D back toward—and below—earlier sale price points. (tomshardware.com) The current Amazon deal has additionally been reported to include a promotional bundle that adds a copy of Crimson Desert with eligible purchases, increasing the immediate value of the listing while the price sits at this low.
