AMD’s latest and greatest was hard to find at launch, but now prices are dropping.
Good news, everyone! The blindingly quick Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor has dropped to just £440 at UK, a fair bit better than than the £450+ price points and poor availability that greeted the launch of the CPU last month. You can pick up the 7800X3D for this price at Amazon, Ebuyer and Overclockers, so you have a fair few options too.
Ebuyer - Get the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D for £439.99
Overclockers - Get the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D for £439.99
Amazon - Get the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D for £439.98
The 7800X3D is the fastest gaming CPU I’ve ever tested, and testing CPUs is a big part of my day job over at Digital Foundry. There, I discovered the7800X3D is actually faster on averagein games than even the Core i9 13900K and Ryzen 9 7950X3D, two significantly more expensive CPUs. That’s down to its extremely large cache allocation and simple single-chiplet design that allows for very consistently good performance in a range of games - unlike the 7950X3D and the 13900K, which can be faster in some titles but also slower in others when factors like higher core-to-core latency or the more advanced core scheduling comes into play.
At this reduced price, combined with the advent of A620 motherboards and price reductions to B650 and X670 boards, building an AMD Ryzen 7000 system has never made more sense. DDR5 RAM prices have also continued to drop, so a complete system should be significantly cheaper now than when Ryzen 7000 first launched last September.
Phew, I think that about covers it! Thanks for joining me and stay tuned for more PC tech deals as we unearth them!
