Making the XT CPUs even more superfluous

But in any case, the fact itself that we're just a few months away from Zen 3 makes the XT release even more pointless than it already was.
Yay 100Mhz (2-3% !) Let me get my wallet out ... NOT
What I will get my wallet out for is a B550 board, seems to be some of them are quite good !! (Even beating on occasion X570 ones in features, for a lower price !)
300 yes, XT will probably be the limit (if they even get a bios supporting the XT), but 400 has a good chance it will support Zen 3, after AMD caved in to the pressure and said "we will allow it on certain boards" (probably those that already have 32MB bios, like MSI Max series)

Nice! New build still on track... time to say goodbye to my good old friend 5820k.

XT make sense just like nvidia super do, as long as they replace an older product and that the manufacturer doesnt haven 1 million "old" parts to get rid of, it's win-win for the consumer you can get a version "2.0" of the same product, that probably has more hidden changes than what the manufacturer tells you 😉
A real life example, when I ordred my car it took x months for it to be built, 1 month later they announced a "final version" of it that cost a little more but was in theory better (had a mechanical front differential) I pushed for my order to be changed and got the "better" version (not by much) as a customer I was happy to be able to have that choice.
Turns out the original version had a major defect (wrong headgasket O_O) my later released but more expensive "2.0" version already had the correct one.

Guys is NOT more money. The market knows that 100Mhz are not relevant and those CPUS will get the same price of the current ones, as soon as the old one are out of stock. This is what i think.
Also i think that AMD also confirmed that we will get bioses to run 4000 over series 400 boards.
So everything is still on the table.

I can't believe I'm saying this but... I agree with almost everything @jwb1 is saying here.

Zen 3 on track! XT less important, but as pointed out above may simply be to refresh pre-existing line.
I do wonder what the all core boost will be - if 3900xt could do 12 core @4.7ghz out the box, would be great but feels unlikely.

Did you manually move a thread to all of the cores just to take that stupid screenshot ?
No Zen cpu in existence can sustain 4.6 Ghz on all cores simultaneously on Air/Water (only sub-zero LN2).
Troll much?

Last weekend, I decided to get a 3800x over a 3700x mainly because I don't really plan to overclock but I don't mind an additional default bump. The XT models will sell just fine. If they had been in stock and reviewed in the wild, I'd probably have bought an even faster XT. When Zen 3 arrives, getting one of those and handing this down.

A 3900xt can not really be pointless, it is a bit more performance for a higher price.
It would be a test done by AMD to find out if people will pay extra for the extra performance, if nobody buys it, it would still be a result they can use.
The CPUes are "too good" to sell as a 3900x, so why not make a new CPU and sell that for a bit more money, worst case is nobody buys them and the xt would just be rebranded back to x and sold as normal with no loss.
I have nothing to complain about, i hope the xt model pushes the x down in price and i hope the 4000 series pushes both of them down in price, because my board is not going to be 4000 series compatible anyway.
For me all these chips have a purpose even though i am not directly interested in them.

That is all. 🙄
