The Ryzen 7 9800X3D was launched a few days ago. As the demand for the CPU was pretty high, it was sold out within minutes on popular retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Newegg. Even though it was back in stock the next day, the next batch only lasted a few minutes as well. However, while it’s currently difficult to grab the latest X3D CPU, we’re seeing big discounts on three Ryzen 9000 series CPUs.

Right now, the following three CPUs are available at their all-time low prices on Amazon.

As you can see for yourself, except for the 9950X, the entire Ryzen 9000 lineup is available at discounted prices on Amazon. First, we have the Ryzen 9 9900X, which has 12 cores, 24 threads, and a max frequency of 2.4 GHz. This CPU offers a great blend of price and performance and is great for those who don’t want to overspend on the 9950X but still want something that can deliver great performance in CPU-intensive tasks.

Next, we have the 9700X, which is a mid-range option from AMD. It boasts 8 cores and 16 threads, with a fairly low TDP of 65W. Aside from that, it operates at a base clock speed of 3.8 GHz, which can go up to 5.5 GHz. However, since this CPU can be overclocked, you can push this further. And finally, we have the 9600X, which is a decent option for those who are either on a budget or don’t need the extra processing power for productivity tasks – it’s ideal for a mid-range gaming PC.

All three processors are currently available at their all-time low prices, so it’s a great time to grab them if you’ve been planning to upgrade. However, you’ll need to act fast, as the prices can return to their original values any day now. As for the 9800X3D, it remains sold out in many retailers; keep an eye on our 9800X3D stock tracker if you want one.
