AMD’s Zen 4 3D V-Cache CPUs are groundbreaking in terms of modern CPU performance. They deliver exceptional gaming performance comparable to Intel’s top offerings, all while consuming less power and producing less heat. For productivity tasks, AMD’s non-X3D CPUs are the go-to option. If you’re looking for all-around performance but don’t mind higher TDP ratings, Intel’s offerings remain a viable choice.
Among the latest X3D CPUs, such as the 7950X3D, 7900X3D, and 7800X3D, which one is the best? While the 7950X3D boasts more cores and a higher price tag, the 7800X3D is known for its exceptional gaming performance. And the 7900X3D sits in between. Let’s delve into the details.
Pricing and Availability
AMD introduced its X3D refresh of the Ryzen 7000 series in spring 2023, launching the 7950X3D and 7900X3D on February 28, followed by the 7800X3D on April 6. Initially priced at $700, $600, and $450 respectively, these CPUs can now be found at around $600, $400, and $370 due to price reductions. Availability is widespread, and these processors are likely to remain in stock until the release of the next-gen Zen 5 processors later this year.
