I just watched the latest adoredtv video and he pointed out that the 3800x with 105 watt tdp will be worse performance per watt than the first Ryzen series. The 3900x has 50% more cores and higher boost clocks at the same tdp. His theory is they're using some of the worst binned chips for those skus and holding back the good stuff for epyc and threadripper (if it exists this gen). That theory is nothing groundbreaking, but I wonder if some really low power stuff is already being binned out for consoles. Maybe they can get an 8 core part with 2.5 GHz base and 3.5 GHz boost at 25 watts tdp or something.
