Newegg Reduces AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D Price - Now $539.99

[T0@st]

As covered on TPU yesterday - Newegg has recently reduced the asking price for AMD's flagship desktop Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor to $629.99. The $70 discount below MSRP represents a 10% saving for keen customers looking to upgrade to some of the best enthusiast silicon available at the moment, but this offer is only available via Newegg's Ebay store. The e-tailer has also (at some point today) rolled out the same percentage cut for the step-down model - Ryzen 9 7900X3D - which brings its price down to $539.99 (originally $599.99) according to the updated Ebay listing.

The 12-core Ryzen 9 7900X3D CPU seems to offer less value in terms of cost per core/thread when compared to its more powerful 16-core sibling ($40/$20) - when taking the (likely temporary) Newegg price cut into account, resulting in a per core price of almost bang on $45 ($22.50 per thread). AMD's Ryzen 9 7900X3D processor has not been reviewed by TPU, but the general consensus seems to be that it gets ignored due to its occupying of the unfavorable middle-ground between the more capable 7900X3D and naturally cheaper 8-core Ryzen 7 7800X3D. The latter has yet to be discounted (across the North American hardware market), so it is possible that Newegg is trying to encourage an uptake of the really expensive models with its latest price offers.

I would expect it to drop below the 7800X3D since it's technically inferior with the exception of a little bit of MT performance, but surrounded by much better options for MT anyways. 7950X is $507 at B&H right now...

They wont get it lower than the single ccd one , price wise. Because the non X3D ccd in it still boosts like a regular one .

Honestly even if it was cheaper than the 7800X3D it wouldn't be appealing to me.

Is this pre- or post melted?

Fluster Cluck award for 2023 already looks like going to AMD especially if you throw in RDNA3.

Meanwhile, in the other side of the ocean, we've got the same processor at 770 € in a french big webstore ...

Basically its a six core V-Cache, who would want that ?

Well Personally I love my 7900X3D. Some reviewers have looked at it and in some Games it is faster than the 7950X3D and no way slower than a 7800X3D. All at 87 Watts,
