AMD fans are currently looking forward to the launch of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. AMD has officially confirmed the release date for the next X3D chip on November 7, but they haven't yet announced the price. As there's no official word on pricing, many are turning to leaks and rumors for hints. And recently, Hoang Anh Phu, a reliable source of hardware leaks, shared new information that might give us an idea of the expected price.
Ryzen 7 9800X3D will reportedly cost $30 more than the 7800X3D
According to the leaker, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will have a $30 higher price than its predecessor, the 7800X3D, at launch. For those who don’t know, the 7800X3D was launched with a price tag of $449. If we add $30 to it, the 9800X3D will launch with a price tag of $479.
The 7800X3D has been overpriced for quite some time now. A few weeks ago, it ran out of stock on Amazon and Best Buy. The only popular retailer that had it in stock was Newegg, where it was listed for more than $600. While you can get it for around $475 these days, you might want to wait for the 9800X3D to launch, considering it is expected to offer better performance with a slightly higher price tag.
