Ryzen Threadripper 2920X Plummets in price 1 day after Ryzen 9 3900X release

Ryzen Threadripper 2920X Plummets in price 1 day after Ryzen 9 3900X release

AMD yesterday launched it's Ryzen 3000 processor series, with CPUs soon up-to 16-cores. Earlier on we already made an observation as to the canabalizing impact on the Threadripper platform. Well, one day after the release the Threadripper 2920X (12 cores) plummeted in price.

Not that could be good or bad news depending on how you are looking at it. But if you were in the market for Threadripper, then you'll be happy to learn some of the new prices. 

  • Ryzen Threadripper 2950X (16c) can now be spotted for € 779 while the old price was € 899.
  • Ryzen Threadripper 2920X (12c) can now be spotted for € 419 (!) while the old price was € 599.

Of course, that has everything to do with the new ZEN2 based processors with faster IPC and a cheaper to purchase platform. Mind you that the Threadripper 2970WX (24c) also dropped from € 1299 towards € 999. Below a nice graph on what happened pricing wise ever since yesterdays announcements versus the Ryzen Threadripper 2920X (12c).

Threadripper 2920 was an awful processor. The grief I got from mine has put me off AMD big time. During gaming even when paired with a RTX2080Ti and 64gb RAM I got huge micro stutter and crashes. With audio, I got tons of snap crackle and pop. DPC latency was through the roof. I ended up returning the TR 2920 along with my Asrock tai chi mobo. Swapped them for an Intel i7 9800X cpu and a EVGA X299 mobo. Paired those up with my 64gb ram and same rtx2080ti and now everything runs perfectly. No stutters, crashes or sound distortions.

2920X for gaming. + 8 vs 12 cores for work. LOL @ you. BTW, did you use game mode as suggested by Guru3D? They didn't have stutters, so it was your problem. And that's why you didn't chose AMD again... :D Da Intel troll.

Not trolling. I'm open minded when it comes to brands usually but this experience jaded me, personally. And yes I tried game mode and it didn't help the problem.

In hindsight, it may have been the Asrock mobo causing the problems, not the cpu. But I'm just glad I got rid of both coz now I have a stable working rig that runs buttery smooth in games.

I'm not sure but this sounds very, very odd. the RTX2080Ti + 64GB RAM is a pretty darn expensive duo to pair with a 2920 - a processor that, as mentioned above, was never, ever intended as a high end gaming cpu. This imbalance seems waay off, and I'd also suggest a little bit of Intel trolling??

On topic, I do like these price cuts. Will also be darn interesting to see what the 3950x does in comparison to the previous TR's, and see how TR3 is coming along. Good times!

He's reporting a credible on-topic experience with TR. It isn't trolling and you shouldn't throw that word around.

Sounds a lot more like it considering the fact that it's verifiable that what you experienced is not the norm. Easily sounds like you had a hardware issue somewhere, and to blame the CPU as a whole, or the company as a whole, for something that may not have even been their fault, or was a defective CPU which can happen with Intel ofcourse as well, is not exactly making you sound "unbaised".
