AMD’s 3D V-Cache CPUs offer unparalleled gaming performance. Here’s some bundles to get you going with one.
X3D versions of AMD’s Zen 6 are still at least a full year away, and while Intel’s Panther Lake mobile chips look compelling for later this year, the company’s Nova Lake next-generation desktop CPUs won’t be until the middle of next year—and they may not be the most compelling choice for gamers if the Core Ultra 200 series is anything to go by. So saying, you’re not going to beat the Ryzen 7 9800X3D in gaming performance any time soon. If you’re eyeing a new gaming PC, the time is ripe.
Newegg has an absolutely killer bundle going right now with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, a Gigabyte X870 AORUS Elite Wi-Fi 7 motherboard, 32GB of G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR5 memory at 6000 MT/s, and a Kingston NV3 PCIe 4.0 1TB SSD. The CPU alone goes for about $500, so you’re getting the motherboard, memory, and SSD for just $200.
This isn’t some cheap, low-end motherboard, either; the X870 AORUS Elite Wi-Fi 7 features a 16-phase primary VRM, EZ-Latch mechanisms for both PCI Express and M.2 sockets, and high-end connectivity with 2.
