AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 12-Core 3D V-Cache CPU Drops Down To 9 US, A Great Value For A High-End Chip

AMD’s Ryzen 9 7900X3D CPU is currently available for a low price of just $309 US, the lowest it has ever been since its launch.

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D CPU Available For $309 US, Insane Value For A 12-Core Chip With 3D V-Cache

AMD’s Ryzen 9 7900X3D was released earlier this year as a 12-core 3D V-Cache CPU. Compared to the other two 3D V-Cache options within the Zen 4 lineup, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the 7900X3D didn’t receive that much consumer attention since it is technically a 6-core 3D V-Cache part while the other two have 8-cores boosted by the 3D V-Cache stack, making them a better solution for gaming applications in general.

But the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D is a 12-core CPU and offers great multi-threaded efficiency and even with just 6 cores, it is a very decent gaming solution. At launch, the CPU was priced at an MSRP of $599 US and while we have seen the chip drop below $350 US recently, it is now available for even lower.

The latest discount comes from eBay through Antonline who are selling the chip for $309.99 US, a 48% price drop versus the MSRP. This is great pricing as the chip holds lots of gaming potential & if gaming isn’t your thing, then you can also expect great multi-threaded performance. Besides the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, other Ryzen 7000 CPUs have also been getting similar price cuts in anticipation of the next-gen Ryzen 9000 CPUs based on the Zen 5 core architecture.

As for specifications, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D CPU is based on the Zen 4 core architecture and features a total of 12 cores and 24 threads. The CPU has a base clock of 4.40 GHz & boosts up to 5.60 GHz. The CPU features 12 MB of L2 and 128 MB of L3 cache of which 64 MB is stacked on top of a singular CCD. The CPU has a base TDP of 120W and features a Radeon 610M iGPU with 2 CUs for light workloads and troubleshooting purposes. Overall, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D CPU is a very strong multi-threaded chip that competes with the Core i7-14700K, offering better efficiency & the 3D V-Cache helps it in games.

With the launch of next-gen chips approaching soon, we can expect further discounts on the Ryzen 7000 CPUs, adding more value to the AM5 platform and giving mainstream audiences the incentive to upgrade their PCs.
