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.

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 😎✅

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

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. Functionality:Best Gaming CPU Ever Made

Recently upgraded my build to the following:CPU: 9800X3DMotherboard: X870E AORUS PROGraphics Card: Powercolor Hellhound 7900 XTXCPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVOMemory: 32GB DDR5 6000MHZ CL30 XPG Lancer Blade RAMCase: Antec C8 (fanless version)PSU: CORSAIR RM1000x Gold EfficiencyMonitor: Gigabyte 27" 4K UHD 160Hz AdaptiveSync HDR IPS Gaming MonitorTesting was done with settings as they were straight out of the box-only changes were enabling Expo in BIOS.Bought the chip as I succumbed to temptation lol (previously had a 7800X3D). And it's actually made more of a difference than I thought. Playing World of Warcraft, it's made a major difference with the 1% lows. I used to get some stutter with my 7800X3D in certain areas-felt laggy, but since swapping out I'm yet to experience any form of dip in performance. It feels so fluid, just great to play. And Overwatch 2, the perfomance is so much better as well. Baldur's Gate 3 - buttery smooth.Temps are perfectly fine as well, peak being 85 degrees in Cinebench 24 with a score of 1346 (multicore), and the temperature never going above 75 degrees in normal heavy gameplay sessions.Don't have a regret buying this chip-it's the ultimate gaming processor.
