AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming CPU has hit a record-low price of $399.99 at both Amazon and Newegg, though shoppers must apply coupon codes to reach that price. The eight-core, 16-thread Zen 5 chip boosts to 5.2 GHz with a 120W TDP and features extra L3 cache for gaming performance.
Newegg is offering a combo deal pairing AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU with an MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk Wifi motherboard and 32GB of G.Skill Trident X5 NeoX DDR5 RAM for $1,094.99, a $248.99 discount off buying the parts separately. The bundle also includes a free MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240mm AIO liquid cooler.
An engineering sample of AMD's never-released Ryzen 9 5900X3D has appeared on the Chiphell forums, showing 128MB of L3 cache from 64MB of 3D V-Cache stacked on one of its two core complex dies. CPU-Z data also shows a clock speed near 4.65GHz, suggesting the chip could have nearly matched the retail Ryzen 9 5900X's boost clock. AMD had teased a 12-core '3D Chiplet Prototype' at Computex 2021 claiming up to 15% faster gaming performance than the standard 5900X.
Newegg is selling AMD's Ryzen 7 9850X3D, currently the top gaming CPU on the market, for $484, roughly $15 under its original launch price. The deal throws in a 240mm Cooler Master AIO liquid cooler worth $79.99 and a copy of Onimusha: Way of the Sword worth $69.99 at no extra cost. The chip, an upgraded version of the 9800X3D announced at CES 2026, keeps the same 8-core/16-thread design and 3D V-Cache but adds a higher boost clock for a modest gaming performance gain.
