The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is set to launch today, and AMD enthusiasts will be eager to get their hands on it before it sells out. A few days ago, the first listing for the 9800X3D appeared on Newegg, but since then, not many other major retailers have listed the CPU – until now. This is because after Newegg, another popular major retailer in the US has listed the 9800X3D.
Ryzen 7 9800X3D is now listed on Best Buy
The product page for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is now live on Best Buy, making it one of the first few retailers to list the CPU. It’s a bit surprising that the CPU hasn’t appeared on Amazon yet, especially with just a few hours left until its launch. In any case, on Best Buy, the CPU is listed for $479, which matches the price AMD confirmed during the official announcement.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that demand for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will be extremely high. Early reviews have already confirmed that it offers significantly better performance than both the Core Ultra 285K and its predecessor, the 7800X3D. We even saw the CPU hitting 1500 FPS Valorant while being overlocked to 6.9 GHz. Because of this, the stock is likely to sell out quickly, making it difficult to get one afterward. In fact, within a few weeks, we can expect the price to increase, as scalpers may try to take advantage of the high demand.
In any case, if you’re planning to buy the 9800X3D from Best Buy, make sure to click the “Notify Me” button. This way, the retailer will send you an email or a phone notification (if you have the Best Buy app) when the CPU goes live. This can increase your chances of securing a unit as soon as it launches, since stock may sell out within minutes.
