The 3700x is selling for $260 now, with a free AC:Valhalla game. Anyone on an older Intel, waiting for Zen 3. This is a test of your willpower.

I'm willing to bet the exact opposite will happen, at least initially.
The X models will get more expensive, as people rush to buy them (thinking they will disappear, replaced) instead of these lousy overpriced XT models, while at the same time AMD reduces production/release on "X" models, allocating more of the chips to the XT ones.
By the time Zen 3 ( 4000 series ) launches, there will still be a 60-70 $ / € difference between X and XT, for that amazing 2-3% single threaded extra and LOST OF A DECENT COOLER.
Mark my words.
this is annoying the price of the 3900x has gone up not down after the release of the XT model had everythink apart from the cpu bought
Call me Nostradamus and give me that wine...

Amazing value. Also includes the wraith cooler which is perfectly fine for non-OC'ers.

If your board is one of those promised Zen 3 support then I'd suggest just buying the cheapest chip that cuts it for you assuming you don't immediately need the 24 threads, then upgrading on Zen 3's launch "later in the year" (perhaps early next year).
