- The Ryzen 3900 is here for the low low price of you can't buy it. (AnandTech)
It's an OEM only part. That's a shame, but to be fair the primary use case I see for it is high-end AIO and SFF desktop systems from companies like Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Enthusiasts mostly don't care about that last 40W or will just adjust the power limits in the BIOS.
