AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT Gets Geekbenched, 5% Faster than 3900X

AMD is set to release their XT series processors, a refresh with three jacked up models. Availability is slated for July 7th, but the first benchmark already surfaced.

There's a Geekbench 5.1 entry of the Ryzen 9 3900XT 12-core/24-thread processor seated into an X570 AORUS Master motherboard and 16 GB of dual-channel DDR4-3600 memory. That proc scores 10945 points in the multi-threaded test, and 1324 points single-threaded. If you compare back and forth a little then the scores ~5% higher than those of the 'regular' 3900X in both single and multi-threaded scores.

I'm almost certain that these will only be more expensive at first then later they'll replace the non xt models in their respective price brackets that they currently occupy.

Exactly, but for people having an occasion to boast their market and tech understanding is too much sweet to pass on.,

Definitely not for people who already have a 3xxx CPU. But if you were postponing an upgrade, this is a good time to do it.

Got my 3900x 9. July 2019.
5% faster @ stock in some scenarioes in 1 year is not too much :p

Absolutely right. This is what Intel was doing year after year in the last decade. But they would have called it 4900X as
it's a refresh ("new generation" of CPUs in line with tic-toc strategy)...

As icedman already mentioned these XTs will replace the X models reaching same prices (hopefully soon) when the "old"
CPUs vanish from the shelfs and go EOL. (The release prices are not higher than those were 1 year ago for their little brothers)

From customer view it's a win-win, as old stock probably become cheaper before sold out, and the ones coming from prev generation(s) have a
bit of more upgrade gap/path - if stuck on 3xx chipset boards, not wanting to pay 100+ extra to move on to Zen3...

For all others it's a refresh to just skip - as Zen3 will bring a lot more, and work on B450 and newer mb (with beta bios) - as real app
or gaming performance increase will be closer to 2-3% imho.

Bringing the mobile 4xxx APUs to the table (desktop) would have achieved more, without higher clocks, by lowering the latencies (no separate die I/O)
as i mentioned earlier - but than again: Zen3 would be a smaller jump for mankind :p
