AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D is most likely right around the corner, and early listings of the CPU give us a glimpse of the kind of pricing we can expect.
The increasing number of leaks centered around the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D tells us one thing — AMD’s best processor for gaming is right around the corner. Today, the first listings of the CPU emerged, giving us an idea of the kind of pricing we could expect. While they’re a bit all over the place, they’re all showing us one thing: A price increase. Meanwhile, leaked benchmarks reveal a high boost clock speed, but average scores.
The 9800X3D appearing in the wild might feel like it’s a bit early, but murmurs around the CPU all say that AMD will be announcing the chip this week — one day after Intel’s Core Ultra 200-S release. With the 9800X3D reported to have a release date in the first week of November, we’re now seeing a few retailers jumping the gun and listing the CPU early.
As spotted by harukaze5719 on X , Shop BLT listed the 9800X3D for $525. Considering that the 7800X3D launched at $450, that’s a pretty steep price increase. It’s not so bad, though, because Tech America lists the CPU at a considerably more acceptable price of $484. That’s still a price hike, but nowhere near as bad.
Recommended Videos What’s the ideal price for the 9800X3D? It’s hard to say, because the 7800X3D is all but sold out everywhere, so the demand is consistently high — opening the door for a more expensive successor to the world’s best gaming CPU. On the other hand, the 9700X launched at $360, and benchmarks tell us that the 9800X3D may not be that big a boost over its predecessor.
