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.

It's a sad, but familiar, story, as in the US (and UK) you can't get the Ryzen 7 9800X3D anywhere - though German retailers appear to have stock.
