AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D
The $599 Ryzen 9 7900X3D is powerful in gaming, but its exorbitant high pricing leaves it vulnerable to both higher- and lower-cost chips, which makes it hard to recommend unless pricing drops significantly.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D and Ryzen 9 7950X3D are the ultimate expression of their 7000 series processors, with crushing creative performance and even more impressive gaming performance, and are utterly worthy of our OC3D Enthusiast Award. The bar has been raised.

The Ryzen 9 7900X3D is a powerful and affordable CPU that uses AMD's 3D V-cache technology, offering high-end gaming performance and competing with Intel's i7-13700K while falling slightly short of the i9-13900K.

However, if the sale price is a perpetual MSRP change, as we have seen with past AMD processors, the X3D models are not as attractive for these workflows. At current sale pricing, the Ryzen 7950X costs the same amount as a 7900X3D while delivering higher performance in most applications. The 7950X3D and 7900X3D may be worth the investment if you are looking to build as quiet of a system as possible at their given performance, but the 7950X and 7900X are better options from a price-to-performance perspective.
