343iBot Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 AMD has announced three new CPUs coming to market in July, but it's not the Ryzen 4000 desktop chips that you might have been hoping for. Instead, it's a refresh of the three best CPUs in the Ryzen 3000 range, with more performance for no additional cost. During the production lifespan of CPUs, it's standard for manufacturing processes to become more fine-tuned, resulting in better performing CPUs within the same lines. Rather than just letting that happen without fanfare, AMD is codifying it with the new Ryzen 3000 XT line, according to Eurogamer. The Ryzen 3600XT, 3800XT, and 3900XT are all identical chips to their previous iterations, with only slight clock speed increases across the board. The 3600XT and 3900XT will see clock speeds of 100MHz more than their X variants, while the 3800XT is getting a boost of 200Mhz. Outside of that, the chips remain identical in terms of core counts, number of threads, and the amount of cache. For reference, the 3600XT is a 6-core, 12-thread CPU, the 3800XT an 8-core, 16-thread chip, and the 3900XT a 12-core, 24-thread work horse.
