You can feel the matisse refresh coming. But it is a very good CPU though. Some even consider it as a better value than the 3900x if you're planning to game only with it. The 3900x is has better compute power as it has more cores which is handy for photo and video editing
There is no 3700XT in the refresh. It is simply because AMD knows that the 3700x is still the best value CPU.
AMD is trying to steal some thunder from Intel on the gaming front hence the bump in frequency. They are likely going for a B550+ one of these XT chips against a 10900k/10700k/10600k gaming build for a similar performance while costing less. We shall see in July how things shake out.

i say the 3600 is the best value cpu. There is no refresh for 3700x because the 3800x is essentially the refresh for 3700x. We all know the 3800x is the better binned version of the 3700x. The 3800xt is even better binned version of the 3700x or better binned 3800x. 3900 is a 12 core cpu hence getting the xt refresh for a better binned version. The 3950x is already using top binned chiplet so no refresh is possible on the current process node.

It stays around the same price point though. The lowest I've seen it before that was $274
AMD just announced the XT refresh today at the same price. $270 is probably the new price going forward for the 3700x.

Yes $5 less than the new normal price. You got a deal!
