The 3800XT is going to be hard for me to resist. 4 cores isn't cutting it. I need more cowbell.

AMD messed up with naming for 3800X vs 3700X, suggesting they are two different classes of CPUs when in fact they are not. They are exactly the same CPU with exact same everything, one being just slightly better binned than the other.
This refresh "corrects" this mistake, by skipping a "3700XT" in the lineup.
I just hope the 3800XT will not have the introductory price of the original 3800X, which was considerably more expensive than 3700X, for no reason whatsoever.
Considering 3700X is under $/€ 300 right now, if they launch 3800XT at $/€ 400 nobody in their right mind will buy it.
It needs to be close to 300 as well to make sense.
3600XT - 200
3800XT - 300
3900XT - 450
Anything more and this refresh will be a commercial failure.
For the moment, the original X have price lowered by around 20 Euro and the XT have the price of the actual X with extra frequency.
Aviable soon.
We will see...

What they should have done is name the 3700X the 3800 and of course have the 3800X. That would have been more consistent with their original naming scheme.
