As early as fall 2023, colleagues at PCGH criticized the fact that the Intel Core i9-14900K, i7-14700K and i5-14600K, the Raptor Lake Refresh, could have been saved. The increase in performance was too small, at the expense of high power consumption. The next crowbar, presumably in the form of the Core i9-14900KS with up to 6.2 GHz, is already in the starting blocks. This is what the sparrows in the rumor mill are whistling from the rooftops. Against this background, AMD's Ryzen 7000 series remains attractive. Above all, the models enhanced with 3D V-Cache. This additional memory, which quickly multiplies the L3 cache, is very popular with many games. But because the 3D V-cache cannot tolerate very high frequencies, CPUs like the AMD Ryzen 7800X3D and Ryzen 9 7950X3D clock lower than their siblings. This means they run very close to the so-called sweet spot. The result is sensationally low power consumption compared to the competition when playing games.
Buy a gaming CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D cheaper nowhere for a short time
A look at the PCGH price comparison (powered by Geizhals) reveals that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has recently become cheaper again. It is listed from 360 euros, with the cheapest offer coming from Mindfactory. The second cheapest dealer already charges 368.89 euros plus 6.99 euros for postage. As part of the Damn Deals, you can buy the gaming CPU again via Mindfactory. In this case it only costs 355 euros – and that without shipping costs. 500 pieces were initially available. But the supply bar has declined significantly. The current campaign has only been running for two days and is scheduled to end in five and a half days. It's better not to hesitate too long.
Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 7950X, 7600(X) and Co. follow closely
In addition to the eight-core processor in the form of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Mindfactory has also increased the price of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. According to the price comparison, the online retailer is actually the cheapest provider at 579 euros. With the Damn Deals it's another 5 euros less. Anyone who buys this gaming CPU will receive a fast 16 cores based on Zen 4. Due to the chiplet structure, eight cores are equipped with the 3D V cache, the other eight are not. If you want a touch more gaming performance than a pure eight-core processor, but also want to excel in applications, this chip is the right choice. The comparison prices also include the Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 7 7700X, the Ryzen 5 7600 and 7600X, all without additional cache, as well as older CPUs such as the Ryzen 5 5600X for only 125 euros, the Ryzen 5600G with an integrated graphics unit or even the Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 9 5950X.
