AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X and 3960X processor price leaks debunked
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X and 3960X price leaks debunked. New, higher prices announced: $1907 and $1340. CPUs shipping by late November 2019.
Unfortunately, yesterday's price leaks for the unreleased AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X and 3960X CPUs have been debunked. According to a reliable source at WccfTech, the recent prices were significantly underestimated and completely inaccurate.
After price adjustments, the Ryzen Threadripper 3970X is now priced at $1907, previously rumored at $1200. Its younger sibling, the 24-core, 56-thread Threadripper 3960X, will cost $1340.

Circling back to the very real Ryzen Threadripper 3970X and 3960X, we wanted to share the updated retail boxes for the new CPUs, leaked online by VideoCardz:
