Online retailers advertise again and again with concentrated price promotions such as Black Friday, but there are also particularly good deals to be found from time to time. This is exactly the case in the CPU market: AMD’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the current entry-level model with X3D cache, is currently being sold at the best price.
Significantly cheaper
Actually, the model presented in April was supposed to come onto the market for an RRP of 499 euros, and initially it was also sold for this price. In the same month, however, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D fell into the area around 460 euros and in mid-June finally into the region around 440 euros. This level has actually been maintained to a large extent since then, even if the offer has recently improved somewhat due to a Starfield campaign. Now the processor has also slipped down to a new best price.
The dealer Mindfactory is responsible for the new low price, which currently sells the processor for 408 euros and therefore sold at the cheapest price. However, a large part of the market has followed suit and is selling the Ryzen 7 7800X3D for just a few euros more. Apparently, the retailers would have plenty of leeway to maintain the price reduction permanently.

Of course, it is not certain whether the Ryzen 7 7800X3D will actually remain as cheap or even fall further. Compared to the previous low price of 420 euros, the CPU is currently quite cheap – especially since the Starfield license is also included. Since most AMD products ship with this, the value of the license key should not be overstated at the same time. After all, many of the “given away” games are likely to end up with key sellers and thus drive down the price.
