It looks like stock levels for the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D are tightening up in the US, as prices for the popular CPU are steadily rising. With October’s rumored launch of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D just around the corner, this could point to AMD (and retailers) clearing the decks to make way for the company’s next CPU launch.
Nothing is confirmed, but price increases at this point in the life cycle of a product like the 7800X3D would typically point to stock shortages or unusually high demand, and with AMD shortly planning to release the 9800X3D, the timing makes sense for a clearout. If you can get your hands on one, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is still the top choice in our best gaming CPU guide, at least for now, thanks to impressive performance for the price.
