    If you're building a gaming machine this is the CPU to buy. Not only does it best the 13900K in most gaming benchmarks but it also costs less and uses 90w less on average. The upside to that is you use less electricity and you don't need a gigantic cooling solution like the Noctua D-15 or Dark rock Pro 4, and certainly not liquid cooling. I have this paired with an x670E Gigabyte Aorus Master and Corsair DDR5 6000mhz C30 Expo certified memory kit and with the latest BIOS update I have had no issues with the RAM running at the rated speed. Coming from an Intel 11700K, I can tell the difference without a framerate counter. Some intense gaming scenes which would make the intel dip in performance, this thing handles like a champ without a stutter. While I typically like to leave some criticism, I have none. AMD really knocked it out of the park with this CPU.

    The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is an impressive powerhouse that delivers exceptional performance across gaming, multitasking, and productivity workloads. With its 8 cores and 16 threads, this processor strikes a perfect balance for users who want strong performance without stepping into the higher price brackets of enthusiast chips. Right out of the box, the 7800X3D impresses with its responsiveness and stability. The 4.2 GHz base and up to 5.0 GHz boost clock ensures that both single-threaded and multi-threaded applications run fluidly, with demanding games and creative workloads benefiting from smooth execution and reduced load times. This CPU also leverages AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology, which noticeably improves gaming performance and frame rates in many titles without requiring manual tweaking. Installation on the AM5 platform was straightforward, and the chip runs efficiently with a quality cooler, maintaining respectable thermals even under heavy load. Compatibility with DDR5 memory and the AM5 ecosystem future-proofs the system, making it a solid choice for upgrades or new builds. Overall, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D offers excellent value for performance, especially for gamers and creative professionals who want a fast, reliable processor that can handle both everyday tasks and demanding software with ease. Highly recommended for anyone building a high-performance PC.

    The best value gaming CPU currently. Only a little bit slower than the new 9800x3d and much cheaper. Also allows you to get cheaper ram because the 3d cache makes up for it.

    I recently upgraded to this CPU and the performance difference is night and day. Boot times are lightning fast, multitasking is smoother, and my games run better than ever. It stays cool even under load and was easy to install. Definitely worth the investment, highly recommended for anyone building or upgrading a PC!

    Upgraded to this from the 5600x which, to be fair is still a decent cpu. However, when I upgraded to a 4070Ti Super, found was bottlenecking pretty hard. This chip is a beast in comparison and very happy with it. If debating between this and the 7900x3D, go for this one. Save the money and get more performance. The design of the 7900x3D actually limits how many cores can access the cache it offers. This 7800x3D is perfect and beats out most intels unless money is no object.

    Recently upgraded from the Ryzen 7 7800x3D to the Ryzen 7 9800x3D and the performance increase is noticeable. I do some multi tasking/work from home and I have noticed the increase in load management. I mainly use it for gaming. The increase in FPS is there. The stablity increase is there. The low 1 percents are superior while gaming over the 7800x3D and i have had 0 stutter issues since switching. I currently have this CPU paired witb a RTX 5080 and they work perfectly together running in 4K Ultra. CPU doesn't run hot or appear to have any issues. I have a Titan 360mm AIO for cooling and under full load have had 0 thermal issues. Very pleased. Best CPU I have ever owned.

    CPU has been running great! Way faster than my 5800x i had. Getting More Frames On Games that i could barely run with the 5800x. Would definitely buy again on a new build if i needed to!

    This CPU is no joke! Upgraded from a 9700k and my score in 3D benchmark literally doubled. Very happy with it overall. I’ve been running Intel systems since 2015 and this is my first AMD build. Overall games play much smoother and there’s much less dips than I was seeing before. If you’re looking for an upgrade and will only be gaming it’s the way to go. Idles in the low 40s with a 360 AIO rad and hits low 60s while gaming. Would highly recommend.

    7800x3d review

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve been using the 7800X3D for a few months now, and it’s hands down one of the best gaming CPUs I’ve ever built with. The performance is insane — especially in CPU-bound titles where the extra cache really makes a difference. Games like Call of Duty, Cyberpunk 2077, and CS2 run buttery smooth with consistent high frame rates. What’s even better is that it stays surprisingly cool for how powerful it is. I paired it with a mid-range AIO cooler and thermals have never been a problem, even during long sessions. And despite having only 8 cores, this chip punches way above its weight thanks to the 3D V-Cache. Productivity tasks like light video editing and multitasking run fine, but this chip is clearly optimized for gamers. If you’re building a gaming PC and don’t need a ton of cores for streaming or heavy workloads, this is the CPU to get. It’s also super power-efficient, which means less heat and lower energy bills. Final Verdict: If gaming is your priority, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is hard to beat — it’s fast, efficient, and future-proof for years to come. Easily a 10/10 from me. Let me know if you want a shorter version or something more casual/formal depending on where you’re submitting it!

    First off I want to thank Max for assisting me with my purchase, he was an online chat rep I spoke with who assisted me online. But this CPU is an amazing upgrade from my previous Ryzen chip! Thanks again Max for helping me with the purchase and the conversation!

    Efficient beast of a gaming CPU

    While just mid-range for highly multi-threaded productivity work, the 7800X3D is fantastic for gaming, ranking at or near the top of many benchmarks when not GPU limited. Despite being labeled as 120 W TDP, the CPU actually maxes out around 82 W in my machine and is easily cooled with a 67-70 mm tall compact air cooler in my ITX case. Water or AIO cooling aren't necessary, though a mild performance increase is available with Precision Boost Overdrive and mild under-volt settings in the BIOS. My experience is paired with DDR5 6000 and an ASUS B650E-I ITX motherboard.

    My experience with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has been fantastic. My games run incredibly smooth, and the extra cache makes a noticeable difference, especially in competitive games. It's also remarkably efficient, staying cool even under heavy load, so my fans don't sound like a jet engine. Switching to this from my older processor was definitely worth it for the performance boost. I don't do heavy video editing, but for pure gaming, this chip is a monster. It was easy to set up and has been completely stable. This was a great upgrade that has taken my PC's performance to the next level.

    Look out i7 13th/14th gen. The 7800x3d has come and stolen your lunch money out from under your feet. This chip performs about 10% better than the 14th gen i7 while simultaneously using 100w less power per hour. And the 3d cache means cheaper RAM can be used with only a 1% performance hit. AMD is winning, and as a long time AMD fan it's nice to see it. I hope this doesn't distrtract Intel from their GPU business, man they are making some promising GPU. But anyways AMD comes unlocked, always, AMD cares about the consumer. GO AMD!

    I recently made a purchase from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier with both the product and the overall shopping experience. From start to finish, Best Buy delivered excellence in service. Firstly, the online ordering process was smooth and user-friendly. The Best Buy website provided detailed information about the product, including specifications, customer reviews, and even helpful recommendations. The intuitive interface made it easy to compare different options and make an informed decision. What truly stood out was the efficiency of the delivery process. I opted for standard shipping, and to my surprise, the product arrived well before the estimated delivery date. The packaging was secure and ensured the safety of the item during transit. Now, onto the product itself. I purchased [mention product name] and it has exceeded my expectations. The quality is exceptional, and it performs exactly as described. Best Buy's commitment to offering a wide range of top-notch products is evident in the quality of the items they carry. What sets Best Buy apart is their customer service. The staff is knowledgeable and always willing to assist. In-store, I had the opportunity to interact with a helpful associate who provided additional insights into the product, making me feel confident in my purchase. Best Buy's Geek Squad services add an extra layer of assurance. Knowing that expert help is just a call away gives me peace of mind, especially when investing in tech products. Overall, my experience with Best Buy has been outstanding. Their dedication to customer satisfaction, seamless online shopping, prompt delivery, and a stellar product lineup make them my go-to destination for electronics. I highly recommend Best Buy to anyone looking for a reliable retailer that delivers on both service and product quality.
