If you\u2019ve been holding out for a 9800X3D price drop before upgrading, then now is the time to pounce and grab yourself a great gaming CPU for a bargain price. The venerable chip is now at its lowest ever price on Amazon UK, meaning you can currently pick one up for just \u00a3368.97. That\u2019s a solid saving of \u00a381 compared to the \u00a3449.99 MSRP, and makes for a tempting upgrade path if you\u2019re currently rocking a budget chip, such as a Ryzen 5 7600, in your system.<\/p>\n

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D<\/p>\n

\u00a3449.99 \u00a3368.97<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conqueror of frame rates is here. All hail the new gaming champ.\u201d \u2013 Read our review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been keeping a close eye on the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D price ever since the 9850X3D was unleashed, and, just as we hoped, it\u2019s been steadily coming down. That\u2019s great news, as while the Ryzen 7 9850X3D<\/a> is indeed slightly quicker, gaining it a space on our guide to buying the best CPU<\/a>, there\u2019s really not much in it. <\/p>\n

Just like the new chip, the 9800X3D has the same 64MB slice of 3D V-Cache sitting on top of its eight CPU cores, giving it a healthy leg up in gaming performance. The only difference between the two chips is an increase in clock speed. However, unlike its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D<\/a>, the 9800X3D\u2019s clock speed is still pretty fast at 5.2GHz, and you can also overclock it if you have enough cooling headroom. <\/p>\n

Take a look at the above graph, showing Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail performance, and you can see the advantage of the 9800X3D over the 7800X3D in games, particularly at 1920\u00d71080 and 2560\u00d71440. Not only are the averages higher, but there\u2019s also a ~20fps benefit in the minimums. Thanks to AMD\u2019s Zen 5 architecture, as well as the extra clock speed, the 9800X3D is also a better chip than the 7800X3D for productivity tasks.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve never seen a cheaper price than \u00a3368.97 for this acclaimed gaming CPU, and price trackers confirm it\u2019s the cheapest price ever on Amazon UK. If you\u2019re a PC gamer in Ol\u2019 Blighty, this is a great time to bag yourself an X3D CPU upgrade. <\/p>\n
