AMD Ryzen 7 9700X. 3.8 GHz, 40 MB, AM5 (No cooler incl.) -suoritin, boxed + Monster Hunter Wilds -pelikuponki

8 core CPUs are becoming the new norm for mid-range AAA gaming setups. This is where the 9700X shines, this time powered by ‘Zen 5’ with a boost frequency over 5.5GHz.

Ideal for those looking for a great price/performance 8-core processor to game on while streaming or running other applications in the background.

Fighting against the 14700K, squeezing out the most performance for a great gaming experience. Also, the TDP this time is just 65W, much lower than the 105W 7700X from the previous generation, while it even includes Radeon RDNA2 built in graphics (for multimedia/office use).

The 9700X offers also PCIe Gen5 support for Graphics Cards and fast NVME SSDs, making it more future proof. Pairing with a B650E or B650 will make this an excellent 8-core price/performance choice.
