Today at eBay, you can find the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 for its lowest price to date. This processor debuted earlier this year and has dropped to $369 for the first time since launch. It’s usually priced around $429, so this discount saves users $60 off the going rate. This CPU is sold new by Antonline, an authorized AMD seller, and includes a full warranty.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 uses Zen 4 architecture and comes with integrated AMD Radeon graphics so a graphics card isn’t necessary to get off the ground with it—though we would definitely recommend one for gaming. We published our AMD Ryzen 9 7900 review when it was released, noting our appreciation for its performance in both single and multi-threaded use cases. It’s overclockable, as well, lending to notably high boost frequencies.

    Why no X3D CPUs in the chart🤔 Other than that seems like a good deal.

    Not really. The reason this part dropped is because the i7-13700 dropped first to $350. 13700 outperforms 7900 on multi-core perf, as well as being able to use cheaper DDR4.

    The i7-13700 is slightly more expensive than 13600K ($350 vs $319), but performs better and runs cooler (read: more power efficient), thanks to the lower base clock and 65W PL1.

    Pair the 13700 w/ B660M Aorus Elite AX board for $130 for a relatively cheap but high-performing productivity platform.

    The 5800X3D is cheaper and faster in games, and the platform is cheaper, so...why recommend the 7900 at all right now for gaming?

    I don't think the writer was recommending it for gaming; she just grabbed some benchmark pics off a THW review and they happened to be for games. 7900 as a 12-core isn't ideal for gaming anyway.

    At its $326 current price, neither is the 5800X3D. As I've said elsewhere, at the low/mid-range, it's better to put the money into a higher-tier GPU rather than paying the ~$200 premium for X3D CPU.

    I'd prefer the $110 i3-13100 for low-end game box, but if you want to stick with AMD, 5600 at $140 and putting the $186 difference into a better GPU is still a way better deal than 5800X3D + cheaper GPU.

    Hey Ash, you seem to have used two charts which show the same data; it may be more useful to change one to show other relevant information (such as power consumption or rendering performance). 🙂

    4-core 8 thread CPUs are typically bad for 1% and 0.1% lows. I recommend at least a 12400f. Usually 50 dollars does not get you a next tier graphics card past 400 dollars anyways. It entirely depends on needs and how long you expect the PC to give you the performance you want. I agree with the sentiment though.
