The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming processor currently on the market and a much better option than the new Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. If you're waiting for a discount on this processor for Black Friday, though, don't hold your breath. It's very unlikely the price will drop before the end of the year.

A Reddit user showed off their damaged 9800X3D, but a closer look at the story points to a likely user error, rather than a design flaw.

Finding the fastest gaming CPU can be a bit of an ordeal. Here are some of the websites where you can look for a unit, some offering discounts!

Intel was a dominant leader in the CPU market for the better part of a decade, but AMD has seen massive success in recent years thanks to its Ryzen chips.

AMD has dominated PC gaming CPU performance for more than two years. Its X3D chips have provided a boost that Intel has been unable to match, and its new $479 Ryzen 7 9800X3D goes a step further to not only improve gaming performance but also day-to-day tasks and creative workloads.

It's an amazing deal to level up your gaming setup with this eight-core powerhouse, a 4.6GHz boost clock, and PCIe 4.0 support at a 52% discount.

AMD may already have won this generation of desktop processors. But the company is convinced that you should also be turning to Ryzen processors for mobile gaming, as a series of AMD’s own benchmarks show the Ryzen AI 300 absolutely dominating.

A blog post from AMD is advertising a 75% performance advantage in gaming benchmarks of its Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 against Intel's Core Ultra 7 258V.
