What comes with free Gunnar blue light glasses and a copy ofStarfield? Yup, it’s the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D when you buy it from Scan, and no I didn’t expect that either. Still, these freebies are on top of the lowest price we’ve ever seen for thefastest gaming CPUon the market, making this a deal that’s well worth your time if you’re considering a new gaming rig.
Get the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D + Starfield + Gunnar glasses for £380 (was £420)
Yup, you heard me - the fastest gaming CPU. I know that’s not reflected in the current RPS CPU rankings, but other at Digital Foundry I was extremely impressed with the7800X3D in my review- and we rank it in thenumber one slot in our rankings, if I’m alright to link them here.
In short: this CPU is an absolute champion, with the combination of Ryzen 7000’s natural strength combining with that massive extra X3D cache and a simpler single-chiplet design than the 7900X3D and 7950X3D. This formula results in a CPU that comes within a few percentage points of its more expensive brothers, while vastly outperforming them in the handful of games that don’t suit the asymmetric multi-chiplet design found on the two Ryzen 9 X3D chips.
All of this is enough to make me seriously consider my own PC build, which relies on the 12700K - would I be getting higher frame-rates with the 7800X3D? Should I swap over to AMD? Almost certainly… and this is a pretty excellent price, eh? Especially as you get some blue light glasses and a copy of Starfield in the bargain. I guess I have some soul-searching to do!
