If you’re thinking about upgrading your PC in the near future – and you’re hoping that Amazon Prime Day will get your build over the line – then you might be in luck: AMD just slashed the price of several of its 7000 and 9000 Ryzen CPUs, including the fantastic Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
Thanks to Amazon Prime Day, the price of the 7800X3D has just dropped to £338.99- that’s 25% off its original price. While now a last-gen chip, superseded by its big brother, the Ryzen 9 9800X3D, the processor still tops many best CPU lists thanks to the sheer power it possesses and the fact it outperforms Intel’s offerings.
With eight Zen 4 cores, 16 threads, a maximum boost clock of 5GHz, and a hefty 3D-VCache, which gives the chip an incredible 96MB of L3 cache that sits above the die, this is a deal worth buying.
If you’re looking for a processor for a workhorse PC, I’d also recommend taking a look at the Ryzen 9 9900X, which is currently on sale for £277.99 – 26% less than its original list price. While the chip originally received criticism for its high MRSP, the price of this Zen 5 chip has been dropping for a while – and this is the lowest we’ve seen on Amazon.
With 12 cores, 24 threads, and a maximum boost clock of 5.6GHz, this CPU will handle anything you throw at it. Buying it at this price is an absolute steal.
