Matisse gets a frequency boost, B550 available, and more coming

In addition to launching its B550 chipset, AMD has officially announced three new Ryzen 3000 XT series CPUs, the 6-core Ryzen 5 3600XT, 8-core Ryzen 3800XT, and the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900XT, all of which will be available on July 7th, at least in some regions.

Compared to already available Ryzen 3000 series Matisse CPUs, the three new SKUs will offer a slight increase in Boost clocks, while retaining pretty much the same price as the once they meant to replace on the market. Of course, other three "old" SKUs, the Ryzen 5 3600X, 3800X, and the 3900X, will probably get a slight price cut as well.

The Ryzen 9 3900XT is a 12-core/24-thread SKU, with 4x16MB L3 cache, 105W TDP, and works at 3.8GHz base and 4.7GHz Boost clocks, which is +100MHz on the Boost side compared to the Ryzen 9 3900X. The Ryzen 7 3800XT is an 8-core/16-thread SKU, with 2x16MB L3 cache, same 105W TDP, and works at 3.9GHz base and 4.7GHz Boost clocks. This is a +200MHz higher Boost clock compared to the Ryzen 7 3800X.

Last, but definitely not the least as it has a rather attractive US $249 price tag, is the Ryzen 5 3600XT. This is a 6-core/12-thread part, with 2x16MB L3 cache, 95W TDP, and works at 3.8GHz base and 4.5GHz Boost clock, a +100MHz higher Boost compared to the Ryzen 5 3600X.
