Now is the time to snipe some deals for the current gen processors, as the next gen Ryzen 9000 processors prepare to make their debut at the end of this month. At $464.99, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D might not be the fastest gaming processor, but it sure seems like a worthy all-rounder.

With the next gen AMD Ryzen 9000 desktop processor lineup launching in just two weeks, online retailers are now looking to quickly unload any remaining stocks of the Ryzen 7000 models in preparation for the new products. This move happens to coincide with Amazon’s Prime Day Deals, which, among other excellent discounts, feature AMD’s top-of-the-line Ryzen 9 7950X3D at its lowest price point ever of $464.99. Newegg matches this discount with a special “FANDUA598” promo code.

Despite integrating the largest amount of L3 Cache thanks to the 3D V-Cache technology (128 MB), the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is not actually the fastest processor in the X3D lineup when it comes to gaming. That title is still held by the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, due to how the CCX design works. However, now that the price difference between the two is down to ~$80, the additional performance in content creation and productivity applications facilitated through the extra 8 cores and double the threads should be worth it.

AMD has not revealed any details about the X3D version of the Ryzen 9000 as of yet, but the latest rumors suggest that these could launch in late Q3 with the new X870 motherboards or early Q4 this year. The top-of-the-line model would be the Ryzen 9 9950X3D that will feature 16X Zen 5 cores and 32 threads, but AMD will apparently make no major changes for the 3D V-Cache technology, as all next gen SKUs still feature a single 64 MB additional stack.
