It's still going strong! One of the hottest deals of this years Prime Day is still chugging along, but it will end tonight: The Ryzen 7 9800X3D might be the best CPU for gaming in the world; however, AMD's previous fastest gaming chip is currently on a steep $100 discount, and the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is on sale for just $341. This chip offers 95% of the gaming performance of the current-gen model. This sale is inevitably a limited run deal, so grab it while you can.
Newegg, B&H Photo, and Amazon are all offering discounts on the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, but Amazon has the lowest price, making its listing the most attractive offering.
Today's best AMD Ryzen deals
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D was the fastest gaming CPU we ever tested back when it launched in 2023. Two years on, the Zen 4-based chip is still one of the fastest gaming-focused chips on the market, handily outperforming any of Intel's best offerings, including the Core i9-14900K and Core Ultra 9 285K. The only chips that outpace the 7800X3D are AMD's own Ryzen 9000 series X3D parts.
The chip boasts eight Zen 4 cores, with a maximum precision boost clock of 5 GHz. The hallmark of the 7800X3D is its 3D-VCache, giving the chip an impressive 96 MB of L3 cache that sits right above the compute die for minimal latency.
AMD's discount makes the 7800X3D one of the most valuable gaming CPUs on the market, with a price-to-performance ratio that approaches Intel's Core i5-14600K (priced at $210 currently).
