AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D CPU Available For $309 US, Insane Value For A 12-Core Chip With 3D V-Cache

AMD's Ryzen 9 7900X3D was released earlier this year as a 12-core 3D V-Cache CPU. Compared to the other two 3D V-Cache options within the Zen 4 lineup, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the 7900X3D didn't receive that much consumer attention since it is technically a 6-core 3D V-Cache part while the other two have 8-cores boosted by the 3D V-Cache stack, making them a better solution for gaming applications in general.
