AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D is undoubtedly the gaming CPU of choice on the AM5 platform & now it's even cheaper through discounts.
AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D Gets Cheaper Than Ever, 3D V-Cache & Starfield To Delightten Your Gaming Experience
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU has seen various deals over the course of its launch. The lowest it previously hit was around $380 US but the latest price discount from Walmart puts the chip at 100 USD lower than its original MSRP of $449 US.
Walmark offers the chip for $354 US which is almost $100 US cheaper than its original pricing and a drop of -21.1% which is staggering, to say the least for a CPU that's only been out for a few months. You can find the deals in the links below:

- AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU - $384 US (Newegg US)

The price drop also isn't due to slow sales as the chip is outselling almost the entirety of the Ryzen 7000 lineup and even the best Ryzen 5000 X3D parts such as the 5800X3D. In sales data from Tech Epiphany, you can see that the chip sits on the top spot at German retailer, Mindfactory.

Meanwhile, all other retailers also have the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D currently listed for less than $400 US which makes use wonder if AMD has silently asked the retailers to use $399.99 US as the new official MSRP for the chip. With that said, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is an absolutely fantastic buy and you even get a free copy of Bethesda's Starfield which is the hotly anticipated AAA RPG that's launching next week. That alone adds $60 US of value.
Furthermore, now cannot be a much better time to buy an AM5 platform since DDR5 prices have reached parity with DDR4 modules and there are plenty of AM5 motherboards out there such as the ASRock B650E Taichi Lite which offers a great set of features at a very attractive price point. Expect to see even better deals in the coming months.
