We’ve seen Yu’s informative (and entertaining) videos before. Last year, Yu posted a clip to video sharing service Bilibili in which he ran an Nvidia RTX 4090 off the M.2 slot of a RTX 4060 Ti GPU. For the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, he broke out the liquid nitrogen and started putting up eye-catching numbers in Counter-Strike 2.

The new eight-core processor with 3D V-cache is sold out everywhere, and it looks as though stock isn't going to improve any time soon.

It looks like we were right! (Not that it was an earth-shattering achievement of prognostication, to be fair.) As it turns out, AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a smash hit right out of the gate, and nearly every major US retailer that sells it — including Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, and Micro Center — is out of stock one day after the CPU’s launch.

AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D launch saw instant sellouts, leaving buyers scrambling and scalpers cashing in as restocks are weeks away across the U.S. and Europe.

Not only can you save $20 on an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D with 3D V-cache, but you'll also get 32GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX memory for free.

AMD has dominated PC gaming CPU performance for more than two years. Its X3D chips have provided a boost that Intel has been unable to match, and its new $479 Ryzen 7 9800X3D goes a step further to not only improve gaming performance but also day-to-day tasks and creative workloads.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the first X3D CPU in the latest Ryzen 9000 series to break cover and will go on sale starting November 7.

Good luck getting your hands on the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU — it’s sold out everywhere and scalpers are jacking prices up.
