One of AMD’s most popular gaming processors, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, is seemingly heading towards a shortage, as prices have jumped recently while availability is getting tighter.
A quick check on PC Part Picker shows an increasing trend in the 7800X3D’s prices in the past two months in the U.S., with prices on MemoryC starting at around $424 on August 1 and ending at more than $524 today — $100 up and a near 24% jump. Newegg’s prices for the chip also started a little over $381 and now sit at $419, an increase of around 10%. However, note that this number recently fell from a high of $449, meaning the 7800X3D’s price actually went up by 17% first, before settling to the current price.
