With Black Friday approaching, we’ve got our eyes on CPU deals worth your while. And when it comes to Socket AM4, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a top pick. The 3D V-Cache-enabled CPU re-emerged as an AM4 10th Anniversary edition this year, and we’ve spotted it at a low price on Amazon. A new coupon deal saves you $19.96, pushing the price from $339.95 down to $319.99. That’s the best price we’ve seen for the processor so far, and it’s a good investment if you’re sticking with AM4.

Why we’d pick the Ryzen 7 5800X3D

The best gaming CPU for AM4

Whether you’re buying a final upgrade for your AM4 setup or building a one-off gaming rig, the 5800X3D is the best AM4 has to offer. It no longer features on our best CPUs for gaming list, but it still supports modern midrange graphics cards and will easily deliver smooth 1440p gaming. It’s the best pick if gaming is your focus.

A decent daily-use part

As long as you don’t expect strong productivity, the 5800X3D is still a fair pick for daily use. Its eight-core, 16-thread configuration allows it to deliver decent performance across apps – especially if you’re upgrading from anything other than a Ryzen 7 5800 non-X3D CPU. It’s very much gaming-focused, though.

Easy drop-in upgrade

We alluded to this earlier, but if you already have a Socket AM4 motherboard, then this CPU is a simple drop-in upgrade. It should be supported by all AM4 motherboards. So you’ll just need to ensure you have a sufficient CPU cooler before unlocking more frames in your favorite games.

What to consider before you buy

Based on reporting by price tracker Camelcamelcamel, this coupon deal beats the best Amazon price for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D by $20. That’s no mean feat, but the CPU does still cost north of $300. For that price, Socket AM5 has a lot to offer, but the key decision is whether to fully commit to the newer platform at a higher overall cost. That’s a personal choice, because the 5800X3D does undeniably breathe new life into older AM4 systems.
