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

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 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.

It's an amazing deal to level up your gaming setup with this eight-core powerhouse, a 4.6GHz boost clock, and PCIe 4.0 support at a 52% discount.

AMD may already have won this generation of desktop processors. But the company is convinced that you should also be turning to Ryzen processors for mobile gaming, as a series of AMD’s own benchmarks show the Ryzen AI 300 absolutely dominating.

A blog post from AMD is advertising a 75% performance advantage in gaming benchmarks of its Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 against Intel's Core Ultra 7 258V.
