Kind of disappointed in the Ryzen 3rd gen XT announcements, hopefully they are discounted heavily right away:

3900XT - $500
3800XT - $400
3600XT - $250

I can get a 3900X for $400 right now, a 3800X for $310 and a 3600 for $160 (or 3600X for $190). With mild clock speed bumps, those XT versions are way overpriced unless they can finally overclock very well or something. They are only 100-200mhz bumps in clocks from current X versions. Not that it matters for most people, but the 3800XT and 3900XT do not come with coolers, so AMD saved some money there for sure. If these were all $50 lower, AMD would sell them like hot cakes till 4th gen came along.

100-200 bumps but probably throttle weirdly to stay within the power envelope.

My 3900X is a strange beast.
