A Rare Glimmer in the Hardware Drought: The Ryzen 7 7700X3D Price Point The recent spate of news about component shortages and skyrocketing prices has left many wondering if they'll ever be able to build a decent gaming PC without breaking the bank.
AMD's announcement of the Ryzen 7 7700X3D processor for $329 is a breath of fresh air in this bleak market. This mid range chip boasts reasonable specs: eight cores, a boost clock of up to 4.
5 GHz, and a power draw of just 120W. It won't challenge AMD's own high end offerings, but it's priced in a way that makes it accessible to a broader audience.
