Now that AMD's Ryzen XT CPUs are in the wild we're seeing the grotesque 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X fall below $400 for the 1st prison term. Amazon is currently selling this 12-core, 24-thread processor for $390. It's been hovering around $410 for a while, but now it's noticeably on a lower floor $400.

That's $110 cheaper than the $500 Ryzen 9 3900XT, which has a slightly quicker hike up time. Both processors are built on the TSMC 7nm work on, and both have the same core and thread count, as well as the same L2 and L3 cache sizes. The TDP of the 3900XT is slightly high at 105W versus 95W along the 3900X.

You don't get so much value for the 3900XT over the 3900X, which is one reason why reviewers have been underwhelmed past this new crop of AMD summer upgrades. The advantageous news for you is that the Ryzen 9 3900X at Amazon today offers a whole whole lot of note value.
