Sure, the prices of the new generation will fall over time.
But I still don't quite see how the multi core performance per $ of the new generation will be competitive compared to their previous generation. At least at the lower end, simply because you can buy more cores/threads for roughly the same money - although with a lower clock speed and single core performance.
However, I guess we will know more when meaningful benchmarks are released and this ends anyways when the remaining supply of 3900X is sold out.

- zapnuk 6y agoThe difference is that the 3000 series introduced 12 Core CPUs that weren't available before AND provided increased gaming performance. This time around the major reason seems for upgrades to be single core performance - which I guess as they didn't really go into multi core performance. But we'll know more when the benchmarks come out, and discussion beforehand is pretty pointless.
