AMD Ryzen 9 3950X: 16 cores and 32 threads - Labeled as Gaming CPU - released in September
So if you have not watched the live stream (hey I can't blame you as in the EU that was midnight), and IF you skipped our preview articles, we do need to mention the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X in at least one dedicated news-item.
The mainstream desktop solution with 16 cores (and I do need to call it that as it isn't HEDT) is expected to be released November 2019. The base frequency for the 16 cores and 32 threads will work at 3.5 GHz, but a number of cores can accelerate to the highest clock of the new lineup, 4.7 GHz. This means, among other things, that the TDP can remain quite good at 105 watts. the price of this processor will be 749 USD. In total AMD has announced 6, 8, 12 and 16-core processors for its 7nm fabbed CPUs.

While a great CPU, $750 for a gaming CPU is mental, hell even $500 is too much for a gaming CPU. 3800x is clearly the gaming CPU, everything else is enthusiast, especially when we know that the 9900k will perform better in games at the same price.

the 9900k is around 500 too.
The 3800x is a bit less, is around 400 right? and looks like it will perform on par with a 9900k.
I agree that 750 is an enthusiast segment.

Hey Boss...does the 3950X come with a nice cooler like the wraith? ....
I think it's a shame that intel/any company would sell a processor without a nice cooler.

Regular gamers should get 3700X. Rich/competitive should go for 3800X. Above that 3900X/3950X are for people who have reason to get it. And gaming itself is not that reason. Games themselves will not benefit from 12C/24T+. And even 8C/16T allows for great multitasking without need to worry on what was left running in background.
