AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D drops below $415, 7800X3D now $334
Amazon has discounted two of AMD’s eight-core Ryzen X3D processors. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently available for $333.99, while the newer Ryzen 7 9800X3D has dropped to $414.99. Amazon lists discounts of 26% and 13%, respectively.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D launched in April 2023 at $449, which puts the current price $115 below its original MSRP. The processor uses eight Zen 4 cores and 16 threads, with a 4.2 GHz base clock and up to 5.0 GHz boost. It also has 96MB of L3 cache through AMD 3D V-Cache and a 120W TDP.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D arrived in November 2024 for $479, or $30 more than the 7800X3D at launch. At $414.99, it is now around $64 below that launch price. The Zen 5 processor keeps the same eight-core and 16-thread configuration with 96MB of L3 cache, but increases clocks to 4.7 GHz base and 5.2 GHz boost. It also uses AMD’s second-generation 3D V-Cache design and has the same 120W TDP.
Both processors remain popular on Amazon. The retailer currently reports more than 5,000 Ryzen 7 9800X3D units purchased during the past month. Amazon’s listing for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has also shown more than 3,000 purchases over the same period.
The price difference between the two processors is now $81. The 7800X3D therefore costs around 20% less than the 9800X3D, while both offer eight cores, 16 threads, 96MB of L3 cache and support for the AM5 platform.
