Verdict — Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Displaced by the 9800X3D at the top of gaming charts, but only barely and often for less money. Excellent choice if the 9800X3D is out of stock or priced badly.
Verdict — Ryzen 5 9600X
Excellent low-power option. 6 cores is enough for pure gaming; if you also stream or do productivity, step up to the 9700X or 9800X3D.
