AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D<\/a> is probably the best CPU you can buy if you’re trying to put together a fast gaming PC, thanks to its eight Zen 5 CPU cores and extra helping of 3D V-Cache. You don’t really need more CPU cores than this to play games, and most games benefit from the extra cache more than they do from a bit of extra clock speed.<\/p>\n

AMD announced today<\/a> that it’s following up the 9800X3D with two higher-end X3D processors next week. The 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X3D and 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D are both launching on March 12 for $599 and $699, respectively, the same as the launch pricing for the last-generation 7900X3D and 7950X3D but a couple hundred dollars more expensive than the current street pricing for the Ryzen 9900X and 9950X.<\/p>\n

AMD recommends the 9900X3D and 9950X3D to people whose gaming PCs also do other heavy-duty non-gaming work or for streamers whose gaming PCs are simultaneously running other apps. But they might also appeal to people who would normally just buy a 9800X3D because that processor has been difficult to find at its $479 MSRP since launching last fall. If a 9800X3D already costs nearly $600<\/a>, why not spring for a faster chip if you can get one?<\/p>\n
