Edit: Twitter’s not showing the info so I’ll just copy and paste
Cinebnech R20.06 1T results from AMD PR:
3900XT _ 546
10900K__ 534
3900X___ 528
Welp guess the refreshes do mean something after all
But I see the 3800xt now as the best performance since its the same 4.7 boost as the 3900x
So it wins by 2.2% in single-threaded rendering, doesn’t come with a cooler, and AMD says you should use a water cooler with a 280mm radiator to get stock performance.
Compelling stuff!
Yikes
Griefs didn’t read the whole article
It says optimized for liquid cooling but on the AMD official website it also lists a noctua nh d15 as well as other noctua coolers, meaning it can run on air cooler just fine
And whenever people get their hands on new chips I’m sure the next noctua alternative such as dark rock pro 4 would be able to cool it just fine too since they’re equal in cooling performance
Poor griefs didn’t read the whole article 
But he does look the other way when 360 radiator can’t cool down a 10900k all core OC though!
what exactly is the purpose of AMD releasing this other then a filler.
The 3600x, 3800x barely had any purpose in their lineup. The 3900xt is basically just that “why do I exist” chip.
This reminds me of Intel’s Tick Tock cycle…
Better binned, better quality silicon, on a mature process now. Could see some impressive all core clocks with these new chips. I am with you on the pricing though, we generally just got them for the same price in the past.
Honestly yes the 3900xt makes me wonder why it’s there too
The 3800xt is more compelling to buy compared to the two
For shifts and giggles, I just ran the benchmark You is bragging about on my 2.5+ year old 8700k. I scored 551.

So my $360, 2017 CPU beats AMD’s latest and greatest 2020 $500 offering.
Every time I’ve mentioned my 3 year old 8700k still kicking butt to him, I only get crickets.
That said, 3600XT and 3800XT look pretty damn good.
Wow griefs! It has to be run OCd at 5.2 ghz to beat the 3900xt at stock (4.7 ghz) performance! A whopping 5 points at margin of error!
Meanwhile an actual user will push that 3900xt score even higher with 4000 ddr4 and perhaps CCX OC it
Never have I seen someone trying to compare an OC score to a stock score and call it a win
The 3800xt is only valuable in performance, 3600xt can be budget Choice if you want a extra performance over say 3600/3700x
Still trying to make sense why you would spend…70-100+ dollars over existing parts.
i.e. at the time of this post…
3600 -> 3600xt is ~$80+
3700x -> 3800xt is $120+
for… 300Mhz?
I’m only saying this for the average joe, who probably won’t care about every single point.
Like rayrise said
Better bin, better silicon
Up to the person who wants an extra 300 mhz performance or can go with rh cheaper non XT chips
The pricing and SKU makes very little sense to me. With their XT line, I can actually say the 3600x and 3900x is a significant better buy unless the XT counterpart can really overclock better, but won’t know until reviewers release their results.
Yes I understand that it is better binned and has better silicon. don’t have to tell me twice.
Be that as it may, we are pretty much at the 3 year mark and still on top. Complain all you want about power draw and overclocking, point is, the choice between 1600 and 8700k in 2017, Intel was the obvious correct answer.
Meanwhile the 1600 can’t even saturate a 2070.
2070? What? Or you mean the 2700x
Zen+ was a refresh just as similar to the XTs now except more performance
Complains about power draw differences between CPUs but uses Vega Frontier GPU…
Not anymore!
But since we’re on that topic, you’re ready to grab yourself a 3090 on a previous thread when they are rumored to be 350w
Or will you look the other way as well? 
a 1600 can’t fully power an rtx 2070-level GPU at 1080p
edit: oh my mistake, a 2600 can’t fully saturate an rtx 2070 (meaning the 1600 is even worse)
or a 5700 for that matter

complaining about a 3-year old 8700k being able to beat current chips at a high power cost is dumb, since people were comparing these chips against Ryzen 1st gen when they bought them. And first (and second gen) chips are getting crushed in new GPU scaling.
For further shifts and giggles, I overclocked my 8700k +100 more MHz (8700k XT?) and scored 558. If you’re keeping score, the 2017, $360 CPU is now beating the 2020, $500 CPU by the same point difference that this thread was created for.

Nice sales work, You!
yeah but 1600 has much better price/performance value something something something and you can upgrade it (will need two ugrades and still can’t touch a highly clocked 8700k)
but the power draw or something something something
edit: reply seems broken
I mean If we had known the XT chips in 2017 coming out I’d probably not buy anything till then either
You’re also comparing 1st Gen performance that had no maturity in the market yet vs Skylake 3.0 at the time, of course Intel related could have beaten it
Are you also going to tell me if you OC the 8700k in liquid nitrogen to compete against 4000 series you’ll do it? Regardless of power draw?
Nice
Don’t show voltage or said OC on chip because it’s either:
Margin of error at 5.2
Or actually using degrading voltage to prove a point when reality you’re not gonna use it daily
Meanwhile an XT chip with better ram and CCX OC will be even higher and that probably
