AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Gaming CPU Slashed To $569 With Coupons
If you’ve been waiting for a price drop on AMD's top-tier desktop silicon, now is the time to act. The former flagship AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D has hit an all-time low price of $569 at both Amazon and Newegg, with both offering a promo code to slash $130 off the chip's $699 MSRP.
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Is $569 After Coupon At Amazon And Newegg
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D was AMD's flagship consumer processor until the release of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition CPU. Even in the wake of a new top chip, the 'regular' Ryzen 9 9950X3D is still an overall stout chip, and it's never been cheaper than is right now.

- AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D + AIO Liquid Cooler: $569 at Newegg (use coupon code BTS21)
If buying from Amazon, be sure the listing shows that it is shipped and sold by Amazon and not a marketplace seller, and check the "Apply $71.94 coupon" box. Amazon lists the chip for $640.94, which is 8% below the MSRP.
If buying from Newegg, use coupon code BTS21 at checkout to knock $130 off the retailer's $699 list price. It's not clear how how long with the promotional discounts will be in place, but $569 is the cheapest we have ever seen this CPU.
While PC gamers often lean toward the 8-core/16-thread Ryzen 7 9800X3D as a solid bang-for-buck option for a gaming PC, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D bridges the gap for enthusiasts who also want more multi-threaded muscle for 3D rendering, video editing, and anything else that can take advantage of more cores and threads.
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is based on Zen 5. It features 16 cores and 32 threads clocked at 4.3GHz (base) to 5.7GHz (max boost). It also sports 16MB of L2 cache and 128MB of L3 cache, the latter of which is split between 64MB of standard L3 cache and 64MB of stacked 3D V-Cache to give it a gaming boost.
Newegg gets the nod on this one because it's also offering a Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 all-in-one liquid cooler as a free perk. The retailer lists it as a $79.99 value, though you can find the same cooler for $39.95 on Amazon. Still, it's an added extra.
