its good to see that there is demand for these. The more areas AMD can infiltrate the more competitive the market becomes. It takes a lot for OEM's to make a change like moving to AMD and their confidence in Intel must really be hanging by a string atm

The 3900X is a ridiculously good looking CPU. No one could have expected a 12c $500 CPU that could boost to 4.6Ghz (roughly) in 2019 when just a few years ago $500 was needed for a 6c/12t CPU of similar clock speeds and IPC.

That 3900 would be a nice option for those of us that like to overclock and save a few €.

It would also be a great option for small form factor systems.

Could we be entering an era of AMD domination like it once was?

Surely their market share has vastly increased now.

How so you reckon? I went for the 3700X for several reasons, one of them being the low 65W TDP, in comparison to the 105W TDP on some of the higher end CPUs.
Especially considering since in SFF systems, heat is the biggest challenge.
