- AMD is expected to release the highly anticipated 9800X3D very soon.
- A reliable leaker has revealed that the Ryzen 9800X3D will cost $30 more than its predecessor.
- If the rumor is by any means true, then the processor will cost $479.
Ryzen 9800X3D is a highly anticipated CPU that is being pictured as the ultimate gaming processor. The processor is expected to be released very soon, and thanks to the leaks and speculation, the hype has been at an all-time high.
Previously, the CPU was listed for $484 by an online retailer, but now, a reliable leaker has revealed that it will cost $479 on release.
Why it matters: This means that the launch price of 9800X3D will be $30 more than the current beast 7 7800X3D. Also, there seems to be a marginal difference between both CPUs’ MSRP.
This information comes from a reliable leaker Hoang Anh Phu who has been accurate in the past. The leaker didn’t exactly mention the price but tweeted in a way that meant there would be a $30 price increase from the Ryen 7 7800X3D.
So, a $30 increase over the 7800X3D means that the upcoming Ryzen 9800X3D will cost $479, which seems pretty good given all the recent leaks. Sure, the 5800X3D and 7800X3D both launched at the retail price of $449, but things are a little different now, and consumers can always wait for sales.
While the price tag is going to be $30 higher than its predecessor, the performance might not be that much better. A leaked specification recently revealed that there would be only an 8% performance increase in-game which might seem disappointing to some fans.
However, AMD seems to be planning to catch up with Nvidia via new upscaling technology, which could be a game changer in the future.
What do you think of the price tag reported by the leaker? Do you think $479 is a fair price for a CPU pictured as the ultimate gaming processor? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below or join the Tech4Gamers’ official forums.
