AMD Ryzen 9 3950X Spotted at etailer - available September 30th ?
There is one processor in the Ryzen 3000 lineup that is due for a release soon enough, of course, that is not just the 16-core part, but also the part with the fastest advertised boost clock, the Ryzen 9 3950X. AMD indicated that the product would be released this very month, and that indeed does seem to be the case.
So far in price search engines, the SKU is listed as 'AMD Ryzen 9 3950X, 16x 3.50GHz, boxed (100-100000051BOX)', however, there was no price or stock availability shown. There is one Swiss etailer website though that is listing the Ryzen 9 3950X to be available for 999 Swiss francs. Which is roughly 925~950 euros. With varying exchange rates and VAT that is in line with the mentioned retail price of $749 indicated by AMD.
Ryzen 9 3950X is a 16c/32t processor with a 3.5 GHz base and 4.7 GHz Boost clock. This is a 105 Watt TDP proc, and as it seems available starting September 30th.
AMD Ryzen 5 3500 spotted: Six Cores but no SMT - 08/26/2019 09:22 AM

No, requirements are different.
For 3900X, you need 2 chiplets which can reach high enough clock, but have 2 worthless cores each.
For 3950X, you need 2 well clocking chiplets with all cores working. For practical reasons 3950X shares chiplets with 3800X.
I hope that it will put a pressure on 3900X prices (maybe with increased availability since I guess that defective 3950X cores will become 3900X cpu's) - this is the one I want but I can't pay that obscene amount of money and expect 3 weeks for it with no guarantee.

I'd take that price with a grain of salt, cause it's a swiss side. Things are more expensive there in general.
The 2700X Anniversary Edition ist listet there with 379€ (https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/amd-ryzen-7-2700x-50th-anniversary-gold-edition-8-am4-370ghz-prozessor-11038381?origin=OSA-5241)
Where as the same CPU is available on mindfactory.de for roughly 240 bucks (237,90€ @ 10.Sept.2019 12:48 CET)-> https://www.mindfactory.de/product-info.php/AMD-Ryzen-7-2700X-50th-Anniversary-Edition-8x-3-70GHz-So-AM4-BOX-1306244.html
So don't panic. ;-)

If the price gets inflated beyond $900, you might as well just get a 2950X. Actually, considering you can get the 2950X today for $750, it might already be a better buy if the 3950X goes up in price at all.

Extra cores than what? The 3900X? That would be 4 extra cores then... 12 vs 16 cores.
So you get 12 cores for €500.... and only an extra 4 cores for an extra €400+ which is not great.
I’d expect the same, but with 8 extra cores it will still be a much better buy.

My third and final attempt to buy 3900X - this becomes even more ridiculous than i9900k launch - 2 months from official release date and nowhere to be found or at ridiculous prices - they will launch 3950X but they don't have enough 3900X produced yet:
This item will be expected between 5 October to 10 October 2019.
No longer available for pre-ordering
F...k
I promise to collect Lisa Su sweat and worship it as holy water just give me a 3900X!

From the article, are you really suggesting a price point of €900+ ?? That is not what AMD have stated - let's wait and see?
I'd also hope/expect that the 2 chiplets are binned to practically guarantee the max stated boost - the cost of the additional 4 cores would need that, I'd think.

aaaaaaaaaaahh !
Guru3D quoting my go-to shop I did not see that coming o_O
and yes like sbachetta says Digitec lists what the official import company tells them so it has been listed for months for september
now if I tell you that they never had 3900x cpus (or a handful at best) and all the other trustworthy shops list 3900x as "unknown delivery", taking Switzerland as source for release date is a bad idea, either we are not a "main market" for AMD or more likely AMD has a very limited quantity of them (this same shop has a ton of 36-37-3800 available)
edit : that said they are the most truthful website I've seen in CH but if the importer lies to them as in the 3900x case where the delivery dates change on a dailys basis +- 4 weeks well I don't blame them, when I ordered my G502 wireless and logitech kept pushing the delivery dates they sent me an email every week to apologize also repeating that I could cancel whenever I wanted

No, I was referring to the post above about the 9900k.

I really hope it drops sooner...have all my parts purchased and ready except for this and a 2070S since I can't find the one I want in stock anywhere yet...

The Zen 2 CPUs are still like %15 faster than Zen+ at the same clocks (and generally being able to hit higher clocks), so I wouldn't really consider that the better buy. You just have to be patient and avoid the price gougers.
If the price gets inflated beyond $900, you might as well just get a 2950X. Actually, considering you can get the 2950X today for $750, it might already be a better buy if the 3950X goes up in price at all.

You can always buy 3900X from AMD directly as I and many have done. They are sold at MSRP and on the price shown below you need to add VAT for the country you are in
https://shop.amd.com/store?Action=DisplayPage&Locale=en-IE&SiteID=amd&id=ThreePgCheckoutShoppingCartPage
Atm is at €428.28 (+ country VAT).
Stop looking price gouging shops.
Well, with ryzen 3900x in very low quantities and prices near 800 euro I'm curious if the price will skyrocket immediately after launch and if the availability will be i9900k like when it launched...

did you order right when they dropped? How long was the shipping? Just curious if this is a better option when the 3950x hits rather than NewEgg or other...
