Looking for the best gaming CPU? The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D AM5 desktop processor is currently in stock at Amazon for its retail price of $479. This is a fantastic deal, offering the top gaming processor on the market (outperforming both AMD and Intel competitors) without any unwanted bundles.

Highlight: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Desktop Processor

AMD's X3D series, featuring 3D V-Cache technology, excels in gaming benchmarks, surpassing even AMD's highest-end standard CPUs. While capable of multitasking, rendering, and content creation, its core count makes it less ideal for those intensive workloads. At $479, it's significantly cheaper than the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K ($589) and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X ($650), yet delivers superior gaming performance. Unless you're a dedicated Intel user or are committed to AM4, the 9800X3D is the clear winner for your next gaming build.
