Presumably it basically is the same CPU, potentially just better binned ones being flashed as 3800x?

- onli 7y agoExactly. https://www.techspot.com/review/1899-ryzen-3800x-vs-3700x-difference/ https://www.techspot.com/review/1899-ryzen-3800x-vs-3700x-di... explains more details: > The top 20% of all 3800X processors tested passed their 4.3 GHz AVX2 stress test, whereas the top 21% of all 3700X processors were only stable at 4.15 GHz. Also, all 3800X processors passed the test at 4.2 GHz, while 3700X processors were only good at 4.05 GHz, meaning the 3800X has about 150 MHz more headroom when it comes to overclocking. That's a minimal difference of course, but right at the clock wall of Ryzen, so AMD has to do binning here to enable the 3800X.
