AMD has announced that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, currently facing supply constraints, will see wider availability next quarter. The chip has been in high demand since its launch, quickly selling out at major retailers like Newegg and Amazon.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, lauded as one of the best gaming CPUs on the market, has been difficult to find at its suggested retail price. Many eager buyers have resorted to purchasing from third-party sellers at inflated prices.
AMD has acknowledged the unexpected demand and resulting supply shortage. The company assures customers that supply will increase in the coming months, improving availability in the US, UK, EU, and Asian markets.
The 9800X3D's popularity stems from its impressive gaming performance thanks to AMD's 3D V-Cache technology. This Zen 5-based processor even outperforms Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K in benchmarks. For a detailed analysis, you can read our review here.
Gamers hoping to purchase the Ryzen 7 9800X3D at a reasonable price are advised to wait until next year when supply is expected to catch up with demand. Avoid purchasing from scalpers, as the official availability should improve soon.
