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.

Finding the fastest gaming CPU can be a bit of an ordeal. Here are some of the websites where you can look for a unit, some offering discounts!

AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D is devastatingly fast and not just in games. But should you buy it or the Ryzen 7 7800X3D?

Motherboard maker MSI has confirmed that it's looking into a Redditor's burned out 9800X3D CPU and X870 Tomahawk motherboard socket.

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.

The fastest gaming CPU you can buy right now is back in stock at Amazon, and at its MSRP of $479 as well, but we don't know for how long.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor is AMDs latest CPU release, but where can you pick one up, and are they in stock?

The AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D is the undisputed gaming champion. And unlike its X3D predecessors, it's also a capable all-rounder across a variety of workloads.

AMD has dominated PC gaming CPU performance for more than two years. Its X3D chips have provided a boost that Intel has been unable to match, and its new $479 Ryzen 7 9800X3D goes a step further to not only improve gaming performance but also day-to-day tasks and creative workloads.

Pictures of the burned chips appeared on Reddit and QuasarZone in the past couple of days. Both CPUs are Ryzen 7 9800X3Ds, the model that has been rocking the CPU landscape with its out-of-the-gate performance and overclock ability.
