AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D Hits Record Low Prices in UK and US

Seasonal discounts after months of scarcity have driven the processor’s price below its launch MSRP for the first time

Overview

  • Amazon UK is offering the Ryzen 7 9800X3D for £399, marking its lowest-ever UK price.
  • Amazon US is selling the chip for $449.99, which undercuts its $479 MSRP by nearly 6 percent.
  • Restocking across major retailers has ended the prolonged shortages that previously pushed prices above MSRP in early 2025.
  • The 9800X3D’s second-generation 3D V-Cache moves the cache chiplet beneath the compute die to enable 500 MHz higher base and 200 MHz higher boost clocks compared to the 7800X3D.
  • Q3 PC market cycles and eased tariffs have prompted these mid-life cuts as AMD clears inventory ahead of next-generation launches.
