The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming processor currently on the market and a much better option than the new Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. If you're waiting for a discount on this processor for Black Friday, though, don't hold your breath. It's very unlikely the price will drop before the end of the year.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the first X3D CPU in the latest Ryzen 9000 series to break cover and will go on sale starting November 7.

AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 benchmarks show that it's 75% faster for gaming than Intel Core Ultra, however the numbers include AMD tech like frame generation.

AMD released benchmarks on Thursday showing that its own Ryzen AI 300 chip destroys Intel's latest Lunar Lake chip in gaming.

In fact, some observers reckon the chip, which Dave describes as the "new king of gaming CPUs", sold out in minutes. Meanwhile, other sources reckon Intel's new Arrow Lake CPUs have been catastrophically slow sellers, with German etailer Mindfactory claimed to have not shifted a single chip in the first week of sales.

Intel was a dominant leader in the CPU market for the better part of a decade, but AMD has seen massive success in recent years thanks to its Ryzen chips.

Not only can you save $20 on an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D with 3D V-cache, but you'll also get 32GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX memory for free.
