Black Friday Ryzen 7 9800X3D deals – pick up the best gaming CPU for less
Table of Contents
To the question ‘what is the best CPU for gaming?' there is one clear answer – the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and we expect to see some nice Black Friday deals on this outstanding processor as we move through November towards the big day itself. This CPU leverages 3D V-cache technology to enhance single-core gaming performance well above what its clock speed (which is already impressive) would suggest, meaning the competition just can't touch it.
We'll be gathering together all the offers from major online retailers together on this very page to save you the job of hunting them down yourself, and give you the best chance of picking them up whilst stocks last (these are very popular processors). If you cast your eyes further down the page, we'll also be listing cracking Ryzen CPU deals, including the other X3D models (the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 9 9900X3D, and Ryzen 9 9950X3D).
Make sure you also take advantage of an AM5 motherboard deal to have a compatible base to put your new processor into. If you're not sold on this particular model, also see out main Black Friday CPU deals page which covers all processors from all brands.

When will Black Friday deals start in 2025?
Expect Black Friday discounts to start appearing gradually through November, with some retailers likely kicking things off as early as the month's second week, based on last year's pattern. Whether they're officially branded as ‘early Black Friday deals' or not will vary by store, but a discount's still a discount. The main event falls on November 28th this year, with the pace and volume of offers expected to ramp up steadily as that date draws closer.
How the Ryzen 7 9800X3D performs
As we saw in our AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D review (where it scored 5/5), the processor is an absolute beast in single-core focused gaming scenarios, and still does a respectable job in non-gaming, multi-core scenarios as well. ‘The 2nd generation V-Cache gives it the ability to run the CPU core faster and at higher voltages, pushing its performance even further over the 7800X3D'. Even better, all this performance comes great power-efficiency, certainly far better than the Intel competition.
Should you wait until Black Friday to buy a Ryzen 7 9800X3D?
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the best times to pick up a deal on any computer hardware. Given the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is among the latest generation of AMD processors, massive discounts are rarely seen throughout the year, but this period is definitely the best time to find them. Early Black Friday offers from around mid-November onwards are a good thing to take advantage of to ensure you don't miss out, but we wouldn't recommend buying before these go live as you'll likely miss out on some good savings.
