AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU is now discounted down to an incredible price of just $280 US in China as a part of a promotional deal.
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU Drops Down To $280 US Price In China, A Great Package For Gamers
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU is regarded as one of the best gaming CPUs on the market right now. It offers gaming performance that competes or sits ahead of Intel's top chips such as the i9-14900K and does so at an impressive efficiency that remains unrivaled. Although the CPU has an MSRP of $449 US, we have seen it drop down to $300 US in various promotional deals before but Chinese retailer, JD, has an even better deal for the chip.

The deal includes the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU and an ASUS B650M TUF Gaming PLUS board with a value of 3299 RMB which is 1049 RMB for the motherboard and 2250 RMB for the CPU but if you were to get a box-less CPU, pricing falls to 1999 RMB for the CPU which is $280 US & that makes it the lowest the CPU has ever been in the market yet. For comparison, AMD recently introduced its Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU for the AM4 platform for $249 US which makes the Ryzen 7 7800X3D a much better buy given its brand new Zen 4 core architecture which offers better multi-threaded performance.
If we look at similar combos for the US market, we have the $499 US AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU bundle at Microcenter which costs $499.99 US and comes with the Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 motherboard and 32 GB of DDR5-6000 memory. For $450 US, the China bundle is cheaper but it doesn't feature 32 GB memory. Regardless, the combo would be a fantastic option for new gamers and PC builders who are updating from older platforms to something that is going to last them much longer.
