Moore'sLawisDead on YT made a good point: part of the reason AMD are releasing these is a marketing strategy, to hamper Comet Lake. Because of this release, all the tech sites will review the XT CPUs with the latest firmware and BIOS, drivers etc, and obviously will of course compare to Comet Lake.

The conclusion will be: they're a tiny bit slower than Comet Lake in gaming but total system cost is far cheaper, they're more efficient, better multi-threaded perf etc.

Basically these will remind people how bad of a deal Intel's 'newest' Comet Lake CPUs are on the old 14nm relic node.
