AMD RYZEN 7 3800X $373
A recent price drop makes the 3800X even more attractive. Yes, in a powerful build, there’s potential to use the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X, but that would result in a significant price increase for only marginally better gaming performance. The 3800X is now less than $50 more expensive than the 3700X, but brings a significant increase to standard operating frequency while packing the same eight-core architecture. Fully unlocked for overclocking, PCIe 4.0 support for superfast SSD transfers, and a low 105W TDP all serve to sweeten the deal.
