AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D is now the best gaming CPU. The successor to the 7800X3D is now more capable of non-gaming workloads, too.
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. The first desktop Zen 5 CPUs were disappointing in gaming, but the 9800X3D, which arrives on November 7th, makes some big improvements over the already-great Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
Like many other reviewers, when I tested Intel’s latest desktop CPU last month, I found that it was a step back in gaming performance compared to the Core i9-14900K. The 7800X3D already comfortably beat the 14900K and Core Ultra 9 285K, and the 9800X3D leaves Intel’s gaming CPU efforts even further behind. During my tests, I’ve found that the 9800X3D is around 8 percent faster in games than the 7800X3D.
