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.

Anyone else want to post the same thing again and again ignoring the common sense?
The 3900X got discount from launch price, while the 3900XT not yet. What a surprise!

Common sense? What is that? Just leave them complaining and ranting. It seems to make their lives more fulfilling.

We don't really know what AMD changed, do we?
Maybe these new CPUs overclock better. Or have an improved memory controller.
Launch price might be high, but wait a few months and they'll probably drop, same as when Zen 2 launched.
Just wait for a few trusted reviews, then wait for the price to match your budget.

This is more or less an upgrade for users who are still on zen or zen + CPUs. That is what vibes I am getting.

5% faster but 20% more expensive. No, thanks.

How 20% more expensive if it's the same price as the last year part?
The old part is just discounted because the market is saturated, what do you think will happen with these one year from now?
