The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is an 8-core/16-thread Zen5-based processor with a base clock of 4.6 GHz and a max boost of 5.2 GHz, which is plenty of speed for any task. The X3D variant's 96MB of L3 cache helps with gaming (among other things), making it one of the fastest gaming CPUs we tested . While it excels in games, it also performs well for just about anything else you can throw at it. The charts below show how it and the other processors on sale perform.
While it's not quite at the all-time low price, you can get AMD's awesome 9800X3D for only $429 (promo code FTTF7668) along with a free 240mm AIO and AMD Onimusha game. The 9850X3D is also on sale (promo code FTTF7669).

Newegg also has the newer, slightly faster Ryzen 7 9850X3D on sale for $469 with promo code FTTF7669, and it also offers the same gifts as the 9800X3D. In fact, there are a couple of deals on AMD X3D processors, some better than others. If you need more cores and threads for heavier workflows, the 9950X3D ($699) and 9850X3D2 ($899) 16-core/32-thread chips don’t offer a discount, but the free 240mm AIO and AMD game do carry over like the others and can offer a bit of relief if you need a cooler and want a free game.
If you’re in the market to upgrade your AM5-based platform and looking for X3D chips to improve your PC gaming experience, Newegg has you covered. Both the 9800X3D at $429 (promo code FTT7668) and the $469 9850X3D (promo code FTT7669) are discounted, and they throw in a couple of freebies to sweeten the pot. If it’s time to move up to an X3D chip and you don’t need a motherboard or RAM, now is a great time to buy any one of the fastest gaming chips available.
