AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D review - true gaming CPU excellence

With the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D having sat at the pinnacle of the gaming CPU mountain for over a year now, it was about time AMD really shook things up and released a barnstorming new processor to show it's still the CPU maker to beat. But instead, we got the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, an identical CPU but with a peak clock speed that's just over 7% faster than before. And, you know what, that is enough, and it still makes this the top choice for PC gamers. What makes this the new best gaming CPU around is not just that AMD's latest Zen 5 processor is a tiny bit faster than before, but that AMD has only charged a teeny weeny bit more for that extra speed. Many gamers won't see the benefit, but if you absolutely want the best chip to maximize your frame rate, this is it, and you won't be paying a wild markup compared to slightly slower options.
