AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Spotted Priced Far Under 500 USD, even 389 USD
If there is one processor that can frustrate the 10 gen i9-10900K and i7-10700K a bit, it's the Ryzen 9 3900X. Now it's not confirmed just yet, but the 3900X has been selling for well below 430 USD in the USA. Here in the EU the prices for that processor have been lower as well, quite a while already.
If you read our reviews, the 3900X is battling the new 488 USD (msrp) Core i9-10900K quite well, the proc is currently listed at 529 USD in most stores. The 3900X processor is fast and agile, at 499 USD (msrp) the 10900K is fighting off that close to similar priced Ryzen 9 3900X, which offers two more cores at 12-cores.
In the EU the prices however already gradually been dropping towards a level of 429 USD. New rumors indicate prices are set at 409 USD in the USA already as well. Some stores like Microcenter already offer the 3900X at a staggering 389 USD, these are models that include a WRAITH cooler. You do need to pick it up though. The rest is
We'll see how long Intel's pricing will hold up, as it seems the CPU market is getting cutthroat. Below the price development in the EU for that 12-core Ryzen 3900X:

Great price but personally i prefer the 3700/3800X. The 3900X is overkill for a gamer like me.
Competition is great for both sides.

May not be if games try to emulate the SSD performance of the consoles in the future. We may need the extra threads to cover up for not having the custom I/O coprocessors.

Good time to buy but ive seen the 3900x for almost £800 on the upper end of the scale, just a case of sellers being realistic vs greedy, i get at most 33% cpu usage with my r7 3800x in the division2, although it does seem to make use of 8 cores just not any threads, i still think for games like the division the i7 7700k is the sweet spot....main reason i changed over to Amd was to get the most out of my Corsair mp600`s.
