AMD’s Ryzen 3000 series of CPUs have been available in various forms for about a year now. Power users and PC gamers will have to wait a bit longer before upgrading to the forthcoming 4000 desktop series, though. As a stopgap, the chip maker is releasing the Ryzen 3000XT series, which uses a 7nm manufacturing process. AMD says that these chips will have a four percent performance boost over those from the 3000 series.

The Ryzen 9 3900XT, 7 3800XT and 5 3600XT processors have 12, eight and six cores, respectively. The 3900XT will cost $499, the 3800XT will be $399 and the 3600XT will cost $249. The new chips top off at 4.7GHz, [...] All three will be out on July 7th.

Meanwhile, if gamers and media producers are looking to update their CPUs, [...] the 3000XT series could be a better choice than the standard 3000 CPUs.

AMD’s Ryzen 3000XT CPU refresh is here—benchmarks inside
AMD's 3000XT series CPUs offer minor single-threaded gains, and not much else

Today, AMD released three new Ryzen 3000 desktop processors—the Ryzen 3000XT line.
These new CPU models, the Ryzen 9 3900XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT, and Ryzen 5 3600XT are minor refreshes of the existing Ryzen 9 3900X, Ryzen 7 3800X, and Ryzen 5 3600X models which add a couple hundred MHz extra boost clock speed to the original versions.

We'll go ahead and spoiler this one for you right away—if you've already got a Ryzen 3000 X-series desktop CPU, you don't need to rush out to buy a new one.
If you're already in the market for a new CPU and want the top performer in your bracket, you probably want the XT model.

You may also want to skip the XT line if you're looking for the absolute top dog CPU.

Really determined gamers who believe devoutly in the Time Spy CPU metric may conclude that Intel's moderate wins there make it the best choice for them. But when taking performance, initial cost, and power consumption into account, we believe most people will prefer AMD's desktop CPUs across the board.
