Highlight: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D AM5 Desktop Processor

AMD's X3D series shines in gaming, outperforming even AMD's standard CPUs thanks to 3D V-Cache technology. While capable of multitasking, its core count makes it less ideal for intensive rendering or content creation. At $479, it undercuts the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K ($589) and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X ($650) in price, yet surpasses both in gaming performance. Unless you're deeply committed to Intel or are still using AM4, the 9800X3D is the clear winner for your next gaming build.
