Review: Ryzen 5 3600XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT and Ryzen 9 3900XT.
A few weeks ago AMD announced three XT series processors. Today we offer a review on each and all of them. The new XT series will provide a bit more bite performance in single and lower threaded workloads. All at the same price as the original X series product.

The memory and inter-core latency is what kills Zen 1/2 gaming performance. The CPU cores just drum their thumbs waiting for data to move from and to memory while executing a game engine...
Leaked Renoir (4000G) benchmarks show better gaming performance than Matisse even with 1/4 the cache size, simply because it's a single-die solution with much lower latency.
Zen 3 maybe have resolved this issue by having shorter IF links allowing for much faster clocks and lower latency, and also an unified 8-core CCX... but I guess we'll see.
It tells me that Ryzen does not have that good IPC.

When the prices of XT level up with current prices of base CPUs, the base CPUs will get cheaper... so you can either get cheaper than now base cpu, or for the same price better CPU than before the release. Its a win win, I dont get the moaning here. Cheer up ppl!
Its good these CPUs are here. Its not BAD. So why all the negativity about something positive happening?

My 3600 (with D14) gets 3691 in Cinebench 20 thanks to the way the boost works with temps. I'm quite pleased with that.
This is the first time I've questioned what AMD is doing since Bulldozer. This 'refresh' is pointless.

Since these share the same MSRP as the non-T parts, these are less stupid than I thought they would be. These are in fact better-binned chips, particularly the 3800XT. It's slightly faster than the 3800X but runs at a lower wattage, both when idle and under load. If you don't intend to use the stock heatsink (and let's face it, most of you probably wouldn't) it's actually not a bad alternative to the non-T models, at least if they're not on sale.
Still... not sure if I would get them.
