AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is one of the fastest gaming CPUs on the market, it's also the most power efficient while offering a high level of value at $450. There are certainly better value deals overall, such as the Ryzen 7 7700 non-X, or even the Ryzen 7600, but they're also slower, so when it comes to top-tier gaming performance, the value of the 7800X3D can't be beaten right now.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs. Intel Core i9-14900K: The pros for the 7800X3D include excellent gaming performance, arguably class-leading, extremely good power efficiency – it's a no-fuss solution – delivering out-of-the-box performance without the need to worry about memory timings. It's easy to keep cool, never throttles even with a basic cooler, and AM5 motherboards are now generally very affordable. The AM5 platform offers an upgrade path, and it's now very cost-effective for a high-end gaming CPU, dropping as low as $360.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs. Intel Core i9-13900K: It seems that the 7800X3D is generally faster when paired with DDR5-6000 CL30 memory versus the 13900K using DDR5-7200. This means that the Ryzen processor presents itself as the best value high-end gaming option right now, priced at $450 versus $580 for the 13900K, making the i9 nearly 30% more expensive. For those of you purely interested in high-end gaming performance, the 7800X3D is undoubtedly a much better value option, and it also consumes significantly less power.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs 5800X3D: In terms of pricing they are identical, or at least incredibly similar depending on the memory configuration. With that, we're finding it really difficult to find reasons to recommend the Core i7. It's generally slower, consumes more power – significantly more in some cases, runs considerably hotter because of this, and might require a superior, more costly cooler to operate at the same volume. Considering all these factors, if we were to build a new gaming PC with a platform budget of around $700, we would unquestionably snap up the 7800X3D.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs 5800X3D: As you probably expected, the Ryzen 7800X3D outperforms the 5800X3D, but the degree of its superiority might surprise some. When CPU-limited, the performance uplift is substantial, with instances of significant gains. However, depending on the games you play and your style of play, the improvement could be negligible.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is nothing short of impressive. Ok, the Ryzen 9 might be the flagship of the range, but this 8-core, 16-thread budget alternative is no slouch either. Packing in some seriously impressive CPU and gaming performance, it’s a solid, efficient and reliable pick for anyone looking to build an AMD gaming PC.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a remarkable processor that can push performance to new heights thanks to 3D V-Cache technology without guzzling much power at all. It’s not the perfect processor for everyone, but for those that must have the best, this is it.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the fastest gaming chip available and easily beats more expensive competitors from both Intel and AMD's own lineup. At an affordable $449 price point that will surely be reduced in the future, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the gaming chip to beat.

With ho-hum CPU performance for the money, AMD's gaming-minded Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a tough sell as a mainstream CPU, given that its strengths will benefit only a small sliver of gamers.

AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D will be available tomorrow at a price of $450, which is quite reasonable and matches the launch price of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D exactly. While $450 is certainly not cheap, the fact that 7800X3D is the fastest gaming processor available, with impressive power consumption, justifies a price premium. Given that 7950X3D has been nearly always sold out since its launch, I feel like stock of 7800X3D will be gone even quicker.

AMD’s 7800X3D is a truly impressive gaming CPU. AMD closed the gap with the 7950X3D, and now it’s going beyond that and flexing its efficiency at the same time. If I were building a gaming PC right now, I would pick the 7800X3D without a doubt.

It feels like AMD has saved the best for last with its Zen 4 CPU releases, delivering us a chip purely dedicated to PC gaming that can match—sometimes beat—any other processor around. If you want to do anything else with your PC there are better options, but for pure gaming power and supreme efficiency, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a fantastic CPU.
