AMD's Ryzen 3000 series processors are all the rage this Black Friday ( just ask Intel ), and now you can scoop up the Ryzen 7 3700X for a mere $299 at Wal-Mart, which is $30 off the list price. Even though we've seen this processor retail as low as $290 for the Black Friday season, this deal is still a steal.
AMD's Ryzen deals have been off the chain this Black Friday, but most of those savings have come on previous-gen chips, and with the company's newest 7nm silicon flying off shelves at full pricing, finding a current-gen proc at reduced pricing is a rarity. That makes this 3700X deal all the sweeter.
The Ryzen 7 3700X comes with eight fully-enabled 7nm cores and 16 threads powered by the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The cores run at a 3.9 GHz base frequency and boost up to 4.4 GHz within the chips' 65W TDP envelope.
