Where to buy the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D: new gaming CPUs at no extra cost

Where to buy the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D: new gaming CPUs at no extra cost

Yahoo12-03-2025
The day is finally here: AMD is adding to its list of best processors, and gamers have something to be happy about — they both have the same recommended list price (MSRP) as their last-gen counterparts.
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D both feature AMD's famous 3D V-Cache tech that makes them gaming beasts, but unlike the 9800X3D, they sport more cores — making them better picks for productivity. The initial batch might sell out quickly, so check out where to get them once they go on sale today.
Several retailers have already listed the Ryzen 9 9000X3D CPUs, so if you're in the U.S., you've got a good chance of being able to snap one up.

As far as specifications go, AMD stayed true to the formula it appears to have perfected in the previous generation; both CPUs have the exact same specs. This means 16 cores and 32 threads for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 12 cores for the Ryzen 9 9900X3D. The flagship sports 144MB of combined cache, while its cheaper counterpart offers 140MB.
Despite the lack of updates in the specs, the CPUs should get a significant boost from the update to Zen 5 and a newer 3D V-Cache. So far, reviewers highlight that the 9950X3D can match the 9800X3D in gaming, while rivaling the 9950X in productivity. This isn't a surprise — the same situation took place in the Ryzen 7000 generation, when the two CPUs to compare were the 7950X3D and the 7950X.
At the time of writing, some retailers are still yet to list the CPU, as the sales start at 6am PT / 9am ET. However, a few listings are already here for you to keep an eye on and refresh. Come back here a little bit later to see an updated list of AMD Ryzen 9 9000X3D deals.

Can AMD Stock Hit $210 in 2025?

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has captured investors' attention once again as optimism builds around its potential in the booming artificial intelligence (AI) and data center markets. With shares currently trading around $179, one of the most bullish voices on Wall Street, UBS, has lifted its 12-month price target to $210 from $150 while maintaining a 'Buy' rating. Some analysts believe AMD's expanding AI chip lineup and strengthening position in server solutions could drive significant upside. However, others remain cautious, pointing to stiff competition, macroeconomic uncertainty, and high expectations already priced into the stock. As excitement grows, is AMD stock poised to maintain its momentum and hit the $210 mark in 2025? More News from Barchart Morgan Stanley Says Nvidia Has 'Exceptional' Strength. Should You Buy NVDA Stock Here? Dear MicroStrategy Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 31 2 Growth Stocks Wall Street Predicts Will Soar 74% to 159% Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. About Advanced Micro Devices Stock Based in Santa Clara, California, Advanced Micro Devices is a fabless semiconductor firm known for high-performance computing solutions including its Ryzen, EPYC, Threadripper, Radeon, and Instinct product lines. Since its founding, AMD has evolved into a major player in CPUs, GPUs, adaptive SoCs, FPGAs, and AI accelerators. AMD's market capitalization currently stands at around $291 billion, placing it among the top semiconductor firms globally. AMD has delivered a remarkable price performance through 2025, signaling a powerful comeback. As of the last session, AMD closed at $179.51, after hitting its 52‑week high of $182.31 on July 29, marking an impressive recovery from its April low of $76.48. Its year‑to‑date (YTD) gains stand at 49%, catalyzed by strong AI and data-center demand, particularly surrounding the Instinct MI350/MI355X GPU series and analyst upgrades. AMD stock is currently priced at 56 times forward earnings, trading at a lofty valuation compared to the sector median and its historical average. AMD Delivered Robust Q1 Performance AMD reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings on May 6, delivering a strong start to the year with revenue of $7.4 billion, up 36% year-over-year (YOY), and surpassing expectations. On a non‑GAAP basis, net income rose 55% YOY to $1.6 billion, with EPS of $0.96, also marking a 55% increase. Gross margin expanded to 54%, while operating income on a non-GAAP basis rose 57% to reach $1.8 billion, translating into an operating margin of 24%. The data center segment stood out, generating $3.7 billion in revenue, up 57% YOY, driven by strong demand for EPYC and Instinct. The client and gaming segment delivered $2.9 billion, rising 28% from the year-ago quarter, with client processor demand particularly robust. Finally, the embedded segment experienced a modest 3% decline to $823 million as demand remained mixed. AMD further forecast a revenue impact for the year due to the export license requirement, which could hamper overall results. Yet, management issued optimistic guidance for Q2, which is about to be reported on Tuesday, Aug. 5 after the market close. AMD expects Q2 revenue of $7.4 billion, plus or minus $300 million. Analysts covering AMD predict its EPS to rise by 18% YOY to $3.09 in fiscal 2025, before improving by around 57% annually to reach $4.86 in fiscal 2026. What Do Analysts Expect for AMD Stock? UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri raised his price target from $150 to $210 recently, maintaining a 'Buy' rating, citing growing demand in both PC and data center markets as well as stronger investor sentiment. HSBC also upgraded AMD from 'Hold' to 'Buy,' doubling its price target to $200. The upgrade was prompted by strong performance from the new Instinct MI350 series, which analysts believe rivals Nvidia's (NVDA) Blackwell GPUs and could drive upside. However, some analysts are still preferring the sidelines. Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of AMD earlier this month, assigning a 'Neutral' rating and a $140 price target. While it acknowledged the company's solid execution and substantial gains in server and PC CPU market share, the firm cautioned that AMD's server CPU share gains may decelerate due to rising ARM penetration, and that merchant GPU market share may remain limited amid intense competition. AMD stock has a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating overall. Out of 44 analysts covering the semiconductor stock, 28 recommend a 'Strong Buy,' two give a 'Moderate Buy,' 13 analysts stay cautious with a 'Hold' rating, and one analyst gives a 'Strong Sell' rating. AMD has already surpassed its average analyst price target of $152.42. However, the Street-high target price of $223 recently set by Arete Research suggests as much as 24% upside ahead.

My Favorite Laptop for Travel (and a CNET Editors' Choice Award Winner) Is at an All-Time Low Price Today

I knew the moment I first saw the Asus Zenbook A14 at CES 2025 that it would be my new favorite travel laptop. This laptop is big on performance, boasting an amazing 32 hours (!) of battery life, a Snapdragon X Plus chipset, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage and an OLED display. But it's also super portable. It's one of the lightest 14-inch laptops available, weighing even less than Apple's MacBook Air. With all of that going for it, it's no wonder the Zenbook A14 ended up winning a CNET Editors' Choice Award and a Best of CES Award for best laptop. The single biggest downside when it first launched was the price. But it just went on sale at Best Buy for $400 off, bringing it down to an all-time low price of $600. My favorite version of this laptop, in the Zabriskie beige color, is now available for a discount of $200. As a result, the $1,000 laptop is going for just $800, no special codes needed. While this isn't the cheapest we've seen for this model (we saw a slightly bigger discount on it back in June), it's still a pretty good bargain on a laptop I highly recommend. If you've been looking for a lightweight, midrange laptop, this sale is your chance to score one you'll love at a much more wallet-friendly price. Why I recommend the Asus Zenbook A14 Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The Asus Zenbook A14 is one of the best laptops you can buy right now, and there are three reasons it's become my go-to device. First, it offers a long battery life, and by long, I mean you can extend it up to two days without needing a charger. I can carry it in my travel backpack without worrying about the availability of a power outlet. In fact, the Snapdragon X variant is only the second laptop CNET has reviewed with a battery life of more than 24 hours, with the HP OmniBook X 14 lasting an hour longer. That brings me to the second reason I like using the Asus Zenbook A14: its OLED screen. The HP laptop lasted longer during CNET's test thanks to an LCD display, but the Zenbook doesn't compromise on its screen to deliver a stellar battery life. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. You get a 14-inch OLED panel with a 1,920x1,200-pixel resolution. It might not be as sharp as the 2.8K OLED screen on the Asus Zenbook S 14, but you won't find another laptop with this combo of more than 24-hour battery life and OLED display in this price range. I appreciate the OLED screen for its excellent contrast and deep black levels. In CNET's tests with a Spyder X colorimeter, it showed 100% coverage of the sRGB and P3 spaces and 97% of AdobeRGB. My only slight annoyance is the thick bezels, which make it a little less immersive than other Asus laptops. Third, the Asus Zenbook A14 is surprisingly lightweight. At just 2.4 pounds, it's the lightest Arm laptop you can buy. And Asus hasn't traded build quality for the lightweight form factor. Its Ceraluminum build is both rigid and lightweight, keeping the weight in check without making the laptop feel cheap or flimsy. Plus, it's scratch, smudge and fingerprint resistant. Things to keep in mind before you buy the Asus Zenbook A14 Prakhar Khanna/CNET Asus Zenbook A14's keyboard offers a satisfactory experience, and the trackpad is reliable. The A14's Snapdragon X Plus variant (on sale) is more powerful than the Snapdragon X model, but it isn't built for power-intensive tasks. If you want to use power-hungry video editing tools, this laptop is not for you. The M4 MacBook Air might better serve you for this use. This Asus Zenbook A14 is for those who are always on the go and want an extra-long battery life without compromising on screen quality. It's a great laptop, particularly at this price -- and especially if you're looking for an ultralight, ultralong-running laptop for travel. This low price is a screaming deal, and we don't expect it to last very long. But if the laptop itself doesn't seem to be quite what you need or if you just want to shop around a bit, it's always worth checking out our running list of the best laptop deals happening now.
