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

Just be aware that the 3900X can get hot as the sun in artificial stress tests even with relatively low voltage, and the BIOSes are janky as all hell right now. So I assume the 3950X will also hit a thermal wall, at least on air. I'm using the AM4 edition Noctua NH-D15 with their own thermal compound. Cinebench R15, which is not artificial, absolutely murders my CPU, by like 15C more than AIDA 64's stress test. I use that worst case scenario as a sign to keep my OC low (4325MHz @ 1.39V and even that can go above 90C in R15). Comparing it to the 4770K I came from, it's a real pain in the ass to configure, at least with an MSI BIOS, so be prepared.
This should do me fine for the next few years. I’ve been champing at the bit to build a RyZen rig.

Thanks for that info. I was going to watercool it or I may end up bringing one of my phase units out of retirement if the vapour chamber fits the RyZen CPU.

I would rather 3900X. Time is diminishing my interest. And there was a lot of time since release.

Don't buy from scalpers. If the quantities are low, you can only wait. Only a fool would pay 800 euros for a ~500-540 euros product. It's shameful AMD can't produce nearly enough of them, but it doesn't mean the real value of an ordinary CPU would suddenly skyrocket. The value is it what it is based on the specs. It's a mass produced item, not a unique work of art.
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...

You're forgetting the very important VAT plus exchange rates
