AMD RYZEN ™ 7 9800X 3D Desktop Processor (8-core/16-thread, 104MB cache, up to 5.2 GHz max boost)

CPUs are pretty standard but this is great for gaming. Lots of cache for great gaming performance and stability. If you are doing heavy multicore tasks like rendering graphics etc I would suggest using the more expensive siblings in the range like 9900 range or even the 9950 if your have the coin, but for gaming this is the sweet spot and the value for money choice. If gaming is your usage case then get this, the more expensive offerings won’t give you enough extra in game performance for the extra money.

What can I say? Absolutely fantastic processor! I dont think there's anything out that that can bottleneck this, not for some time yet. Delivery was great as it was handled by amazon, very good value for money as the price for this processor is continuously fluctuating. I paired this with the MSI pro B650-S WIFI motherboard and a corsair H100i cooler. I had to flash the bios for the motherboard (despite it saying 9000 series ready) but this is a very easy process, just requiring a usb drive 32gb or less formatted to fat32, plugged into the correct usb slot, preloaded with the update files from the MSI website. I've had no problems whatsoever with high temps, even while running games like cyberpunk and KCD2 at ultra. This processor is a must have if you're building a gaming PC.

Amazing performance in gaming, with tremendous 1% lows in CPU bound games, providing a very smooth experience. The large 3D V-Cache makes it ideal for large scale open worlds, strategy games, and games with a lot of AI based features. This chips best fps gains are seen at 1080p. However, there is substantial one at 1440p, but minimal at 4k, if say coming from the 5800x3d. (Dependant on your GPU) Impressively, whilst providing all that performance, it is also very power efficient. I rarely see over 70-80 watts in the games I play. Overall, it is truly one of the best gaming chips out there at the time of writing.

Bought from swiftly gadgets. Arrived very fast. I previously had the 7700x. The 9800x3d is a big step up in terms of general desktop use. Temps around 40c, case fans are silent. Hugh improvement.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Brilliant chip. Major boost to gaming experience.

holy my fps is insane, if you play games any you love games... there is genuinly no better option;playing with this cpu is like how you would imagine the game to run in your head absolute undetectable 1% lows to the naked eyes and coming from my am4 mid end cpu; i feel like a 200% better playergives you genuine competitive edge in cpu bound games likeFortnite, Valorant, CS, Overwatch.if you play games like that and your thinking of a high end CPU this is the one for you 😎✅

This is a great gaming CPU, pair it with a decent GPU and you can play any title in 1440p or 4K.Working absolutely fine for me!

This 9800X3D replaced my totally rubbish Intel Core 9 Ultra 285, that killed itself in under a year, that wasn't overclocked and had a 360 AIO for cooling.What I have noticed while gaming even at 4K using my 4080 Super or my new (and has much better drivers) 9070 is no more 0.01% lows of 1-2FPS or 0.1% lows of 10-30FPS in games like RDR2 TLoU pt1&2, SP, X4, Dying Light 1&2, RE4, Sons of the forest, A Plague Tale 1&2 all on ultra preset etc, and a gain of 40-60FPS in 1% lows and a much, much better gaming experience in general with the 9800X3D.
