The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is on sale via Amazon and Newegg, and it comes with a free copy of Monster Hunter Wilds as part of the AMD game bundle. The Zen 5 based eight core, 16 thread CPU is an excellent mid-range offering that, when paired with a decent GPU, can deliver solid 1440p gaming experience in most demanding AAA games. It is a strong competitor to the Intel Core i7-14700K and can outperform the Core i5-14600K in most games.
Amazon has the Ryzen 7 9700X listed for $289, which is a $70 discount from its typical price tag of $359. Since the CPU is part of the AMD game bundle, shoppers also get the newly released Monster Hunter Wilds for free. The game itself costs $70 (Standard Edition) which makes this deal even sweeter. It is a limited time discount that is also available on Newegg. Even if the discount on the CPU runs out, the free game bundle will still be available with purchase of the CPU (and other eligible AMD products) till April 26.
The Ryzen 7 9700X has a base clock speed of 3.8 GHz and can boost up to 5.5 GHz. It comes with 32MB of L3 cache and a default TDP of 65W. It supports all the latest hardware and software standards like PCIe 5.0, DDR5 memory, Precision Boost 2, AMD EXPO, and more. In comparison, the Intel Core i7-14700K is priced at $332 and though it does outperform the 9700X, the latter offers better value, at least at its discounted price.
