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).

Hi there
Cheapest 2920x I can find for £360 over here in UK which is not bad price, I have been set to switch to Ryzen 3900X but what puts me off for now availability of motherboard with 10 SATA ports and at least 5 PCI_E slots and preferably EATX board as well
For £275 can have Gigabyte Designare EX X399 which offers that and can reuse my RAM although they're only 2133MHz which I assume would bottleneck CPU
X570 boards there are few which I like just PCI_E slot count is just not enough and 3900X seems is bit better than 2920x
Hope this helps
Thanks, Jura

I am not shilling for Intel by pointing out to you what it looks like when the manufacturer doesn't actually advertise their product for gaming, it's really simple, the product page isn't covered in the words "gaming" and "streaming"
Whereas the AMD product, which you claim AMD never meant for gaming, is covered in the words "gaming" and "streaming"
According to you, It's up to the consumer to read the AMD product page and interpret for themselves that despite AMD telling them the chip is for gaming at every possible opportunity, it is not in fact for gaming
Again, why is it like this
Hello intel, creating more accounts, yet again. So many new accounts on the ignore list.

"THREADRIPPER" "
Why is it like this
I've highlighted things a bit differently above.
"Why is it like this?" I'd politely suggest getting a bit more acquainted with the Threadripper series, particularly the many reviews. I'd suggest our very own guru3d review here: https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/amd-ryzen-threadripper-2920x-review,29.html. Pay attention to that page. I'd also suggest reading the posts above fully..."never intended as a high end gaming cpu".
Now, once you've had a chance to check out some reviews do get back with something a bit more balanced. There's nothing wrong using a threadripper for gaming, but if you are primarily a gamer, perhaps(!!) you shouldn't be buying a threadripper in the first place?
Do note that with the, by now, well documented many advances of Zen2 - advantages over Intel - any future Threadripper will most certainly carry some interesting review amendments.
"THREADRIPPER" "
The 12-Core Heavy Metal Hero for Creators Who Game" was never ever intended for gaming according to people on the internet

The distinction is not whether the chip is actually suitable for gaming, I can look at the specs and collect whether or not that's the case, the issue is how the chip is marketed
I've shown what it looks like when a chip isn't marketed for gaming
The THREADRIPPER, with it's aggressive name, logo, and product page which never ceases to mention gaming/streaming, is clearly marketed at gamers
Yet, there's no less than 3 people in this thread who want to make the argument that despite AMD clearly, unequivocally marketing the chip at gamers, they feel the need to let everyone know that it isn't "primarily" for gamers
Maybe you should be telling AMD this
Also, you're not getting to 5ghz without liquid nitrogen on an AMD platform so your future optimism for AMD gaming is also misplaced
