Trying to get ahold of the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, one of the best processors on the market right now? Good luck, since it’s sold out pretty much everywhere.

(Not that it was an earth-shattering achievement of prognostication, to be fair.) As it turns out, AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a smash hit right out of the gate, and nearly every major US retailer that sells it — including Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy ...

Go ahead and pat yourself on the back if you managed to procure an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D before retailers ran out of stock

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D was available to purchase for a short time, but it's already sold out at most online retailers.

AMD's new Ryzen 7 9800X3D is in extremely high demand, to the point where it is virtually impossible to buy the CPU right now. Scalpers are taking advantage of the "crisis" charging up to $1,000 for the CPU on eBay.

AMD has dominated PC gaming CPU performance for more than two years. Its X3D chips have provided a boost that Intel has been unable to match, and its new $479 Ryzen 7 9800X3D goes a step further to not only improve gaming performance but also day-to-day tasks and creative workloads.

And so, the 6.9 GHz overclock that we saw yesterday from the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has now been surpassed by Taiwanese overclocker TSAIK using an MSI MEG X870E Godlike motherboard with a number 1 position on the HWBOT leaderboard for the chip's CPU frequency (via Videocardz).
