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).

I hate graphs that don't start at 0. Gives a visually misleading indication of the actual saving.

It was never free so that's probably why.

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.

It was never intended as a gaming PC processor. It had a BIOS mode to switch but was always going to be bad. For content creation, video etc it was great. For balance I had to build a i7-9800 system with dual boot NVME drives (Windows, Linux) and it was a complete PITA. Windows was fine but Linux was a nightmare getting it running.
