3800X is "gamer priced" :). I think the 3900x is in a great position to provide the best of both gaming and productivity. Extremely aggressively priced at $500

3800X is "gamer priced" :). I think the 3900x is in a great position to provide the best of both gaming and productivity. Extremely aggressively priced at $500 for the horsepower it seems to give you. I suspect there is going to be a 16 core 3950x later in the year. Maybe with slightly lower single core frequencies. But maybe 20-25% greater multicore performance. I bet they are delaying that to keep something up their sleeves when Intel responds. And to not totally cannibalize TR prior to releasing TR3.
