The fastest processor for gaming PCs, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, received a much-needed price-cut in the lead up to Black Friday sales. The chip is listed on Newegg US for $439.99, a $40 cut from its $479.99 street price. The processor remains the fastest processor for PC gaming, trailed by the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, and the previous generation Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which is disappearing from store shelves. The 9800X3D combines AMD's latest "Zen 5" microarchitecture, with 3D V-Cache technology, for a total of 96 MB of last-level cache, which is known to significantly improve performance in games.
