Yeah, per CCD. Looks like there will still be a max of 2 CCDs per CPU.One CCX now?
3 of them in my sig, and a 3950xAh. No idea. I know very few people IRL or online who own 3900Xs.. which is weird considering how great the price point is. I've read meh reports on the XT hitting high boosts for long periods of time but I've also heard the complete opposite.
I've got one too, since the system in my signature died earlier this year. It just seemed like the best deal at the time since it was down to ~$420 and money wasn't really an issue. It is a nice system, and it seems to do better in every benchmark than what I found on the reviews for some reason.3 of them in my sig, and a 3950x
I'm going to insult myself here and say you were one of the people whom I counted in that total. I didn't think it would have been appropriate to name drop.3 of them in my sig, and a 3950x
I do wonder what is the "new information" in this "leak"? No offense, but everything listed in that THG post is known for 1 year+.Some info.

The magical 5GHz barrier only comes into play when your underlying architecture requires it to keep competitive....PUN intended.
The alleged no compromise per core clocks and voltage control increase the odds of achieving the magical 5GHz barrier. It'll be nice to play around with, but the end results will be YMMV. I wouldn't get too hung up on the need to hit 5GHz.

Count me in then with 3900XT I even posted few benches here just after launch, but my work takes a lot of my time hence I'm mostly silent Bob, just reading and up-voting posts.I'm going to insult myself here and say you were one of the people whom I counted in that total.

Working from home has been mostly a nightmare for me. I long to be out and about. Maybe one day again.Count me in then with 3900XT I even posted few benches here just after launch, but my work takes a lot of my time hence I'm mostly silent Bob, just reading and up-voting posts.
Back to the topic on hand, I'm expecting pricing for new Zen 3 desktop CPU's to be higher per core than launch prices of Zen 2, but I hope I'm wrong. My plan is to replace 3900XT with equivalent 12 core Ryzen 4000 series if 16 core version launches higher than $799.00, otherwise I'm fully investing into top of the line CPU as it will last me at least a year (Threadripper, you know ...)
New CPU + upgrading my Vega 7 to next gen GPU should give me a massive generational jump in performance across wide range of workloads and games, not to mention something new to tweak and play with during long winter nights
None of the XT reviews reflect that. Unless that's the boost for idling or something. My 3900x won't even hit 4200 MHz in most all-core scenarios where you actually want the chip to do work (it'll do 4175 MHz in CBR20, and around there in Blender), and I don't think the 3900XT boosts any higher than that. Picking up a few hundred extra MHz in applications like that would be good for Zen3. N7+ makes it more than possible.
If you are overclocking, it’s easy to hit high clocks as long as you don’t have a crap motherboard. This isn’t about overclocking, however.I've seen people claim they've got 4.4 all core on their 3900X. I've even seen one person claim they got 4.5 all core on less than 1.3. Either they're lying or "won" the lottery. Here's to hoping AMD did something crazy and Igor wasn't blowing smoke anyone's butt.

Good value for productivity and gaming, IMO. I hope the 4900 and 4950 improve a lot in both areas. What cooler did you pair yours with?I own a 3900X. IMO it is the best chip of the series.
The fact that Zen3 is not ddr5 leaves more incentive, for me, to wait.
My 3600XT averages 4.5 GHz during a CB run. I will have to see how my 3900X does.
Seems dumb to put a mid-cycle processor out on X570 with extension for DDR5.
I'm not putting much faith in that Warhol leak. Seems dumb to put a mid-cycle processor out on X570 with extension for DDR5. It'll be a price reset like XT, maybe higher, not to mention being a guinea pig for early DDR5.

It would be dumb, but they also did the XT refresh which was an absolute joke.
Realistically, an N6 Zen 3 shrink and bugfix a la Zen+ would be the best option.
The XT release wasn’t a joke. It was a slightly better binned version of the X CPUs released for the same MSRP. The only negative about the XT chips (besides the fact the prices haven’t fallen yet) is that the upper tiers don’t include an HSF.
Except that the 3600XT has no issues hitting 4.6 GHz and beyond. Also, it is currently the only 6-core Zen 2 CPU that isn’t backordered.No, it's a joke. You're talking maybe 100 MHz of uplift, which is basically negligible. Check GN's reviews.
There's no reason to buy a 3600XT when the 3600 already existed. There's no reason to buy a 3800XT when the 3700X exists. The 3900XT is the only one you could maybe make a case for, but there's not much there.
It was a pointless refresh that only served to add more unnecessary product segmentation.
Mozart or whatever his name on Twitter is seems to think that RKL will be out with a 5.5 SCC, and that Alderlake will follow with some refined designs.I'm assuming Warhol, if real, would introduce an entirely new chipset; regardless, it isn't stupid if AMD thinks they'll have no credible competition. Gotta milk that cow for all its worth. Moo.
