The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the top option for gamers. Thanks to its ground-breaking 3D V-Cache technology, it offers outstanding performance in almost every game.

Its non-gaming talents, however, are not as remarkable. If you are looking for a flexible processor that can do more, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is a good option in this class unless you want the Intel Core i7-14700K that was previously stated.

Although more expensive than the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, it provides a marginally more economical option. Buyers who do not have an AM5 motherboard should be aware that upgrading their system significantly will be necessary to support the newest AMD Ryzen processors.
