AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT and Ryzen 9 3900XT to Lack In-box Coolers
AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7 3800XT 8-core and Ryzen 9 3900XT 12-core processors will lack a stock cooler inside their retail PIB (processor-in-box) packages, much like the company's flagship 16-core 3950X. This, according to an alleged part ordering price-sheet leaked to the web by momomo_us. OPN codes for the two are marked as "100-100000277WOF" for the 3900XT and "100-100000279WOF" for the 3800XT, with "WOF" indicating "without fan" or a lack of an in-box cooler. The Ryzen 5 3600XT, on the other hand, will include a Wraith Spire cooling solution AMD rates for processors with TDP of up to 95 W. AMD is pricing the 3900XT at 588€, the 3800XT at 463€, and the 3600XT at 287€ (likely inclusive of taxes, as is usual for EUR list prices). The numbers more relevant to the retail channel are "500+," as that's the quantity at which retailers such as Mindfactory order the chips.

They sure have come a long way in two years.
These are AMD s "halo" products, I don't think they expect them to sell like hot cakes to begin with, this pricing is more a marketing choice than a realistic one. And no, I don't think any of these parts will "dethrone" the k chips from Intel, they could be very close though. Time will tell.
That being said, those CPUs are quite pricey for a minute increase in frequency (if rumours are to be believed).
The XFR/PBO is such a great tech that it pretty much maxes out the silicon. Forget about old days OC'ing, or all core overclocks. PBO just deliveres it straight out of the box within safe parameters, exactly doing as it was intended to.
Really i favor XFR/PBO more now; it simply boosts when it needs to. Barely any difference now in between all core vs boost.
In the EU, it depends on the country; from 20% to 25% on some.
As for the no box cooler thing, pretty sure the ppl who are in the market for such CPUs would use a proper aftermarket cooler anyway.
My 1600x had no cooler either but that didn't bother me as I was planning on buying an aftermarket cooler in the first place. 'regardless of my choice of CPU'
