Got my 3900x 9. July 2019.
5% faster @ stock in some scenarioes in 1 year is not too much 😛
koniu
5% faster but 20% more expensive. No, thanks.
Yosif Videlov
Yeah because Geekbench is all you do in a PC 🙂
nizzen
Cinebench 24/7 😉
icedman
I'm almost certain that these will only be more expensive at first then later they'll replace the non xt models in their respective price brackets that they currently occupy.
asturur
Exactly, but for people having an occasion to boast their market and tech understanding is too much sweet to pass on.,
Vananovion
Definitely not for people who already have a 3xxx CPU. But if you were postponing an upgrade, this is a good time to do it.

Hahahha totail fail , if they were sold same price i can undestand, but in POLAND the yare like 30% more expensive , what a joke from AMD. INTEL style .
RogeRR
Absolutely right. This is what Intel was doing year after year in the last decade. But they would have called it 4900X as
it's a refresh ("new generation" of CPUs in line with tic-toc strategy)... 😉
As icedman already mentioned these XTs will replace the X models reaching same prices (hopefully soon) when the "old"
CPUs vanish from the shelfs and go EOL. (The release prices are not higher than those were 1 year ago for their little brothers)
From customer view it's a win-win, as old stock probably become cheaper before sold out, and the ones coming from prev generation(s) have a
bit of more upgrade gap/path - if stuck on 3xx chipset boards, not wanting to pay 100+ extra to move on to Zen3...
For all others it's a refresh to just skip - as Zen3 will bring a lot more, and work on B450 and newer mb (with beta bios) - as real app
or gaming performance increase will be closer to 2-3% imho.
Bringing the mobile 4xxx APUs to the table (desktop) would have achieved more, without higher clocks, by lowering the latencies (no separate die I/O)
as i mentioned earlier - but than again: Zen3 would be a smaller jump for mankind 😛

Yeah, I will totally pay an extra € 122 for that 0.1Ghz in single core only !

Anyone else want to post the same thing again and again ignoring the common sense?
The 3900X got discount from launch price, while the 3900XT not yet. What a surprise!
heffeque
Common sense? What is that? Just leave them complaining and ranting. It seems to make their lives more fulfilling.

We don't really know what AMD changed, do we?
Maybe these new CPUs overclock better. Or have an improved memory controller.
Launch price might be high, but wait a few months and they'll probably drop, same as when Zen 2 launched.
Just wait for a few trusted reviews, then wait for the price to match your budget.

This is more or less an upgrade for users who are still on zen or zen + CPUs. That is what vibes I am getting.
Silva
How 20% more expensive if it's the same price as the last year part?
The old part is just discounted because the market is saturated, what do you think will happen with these one year from now?
squalles
so, can´t beat yet the i5 10400 in games kkkkkkk
JamesSneed
The 3900XT is the exact same MSRP as the 3900X when it released. All we know is MSRP, so right now they are both the same price.
Astyanax
im disappointed.
Toadstool
A bit faster at release msrp isn't bad. At the very least this release seems to have pushed the prices of the X models down.
Undying
Im sure even 3600 beats the 10400.
