Overview
- Tom's Hardware and Wccftech reported Sunday that Newegg lists two notable offers: a Ryzen 7 9800X3D bundle for $1,109.99 that includes an ASUS TUF X870E motherboard, 32GB Corsair DDR5-6000 RAM, a 240mm Cooler Master AIO and Capcom’s Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and a Ryzen 7 9850X3D for $484 bundled with the same AIO and game.
- Tom's Hardware priced the 9800X3D bundle's components at about $1,408.96, making the $1,109.99 package roughly a $300 saving compared with buying parts separately.
- In in-house testing reported by Tom's Hardware, the higher-binned 9850X3D proved only about 3.3% faster than the 9800X3D, a modest gaming gain that narrows the case for paying extra for the newer chip.
- Wccftech noted the 9800X3D bundle is set to expire on September 26 while Newegg did not specify an end date for the 9850X3D offer, so availability and savings may be time- and stock-limited.
- The deals reflect current market pressure on DRAM prices and give builders a practical way to avoid paying full retail for a 32GB DDR5 kit, which could lower the upfront cost of high-end gaming PCs and speed upgrades for gamers.
