Not really.

We're seeing whatever clocks AMD are showing.

Means nothing to mean if 3900X is better than 3800X.
But I'd still expect the 3800X to win with higher clocks (*If* it achieves higher clocks)

you mean the rated clocks ? as theyre kinda in stone now

2600x doesnt inherintly overclock any better than a 2700x , i expect the same to be here.

Not their stock clocks, their overclocking clocks 24/7.

3800X has higher overall all core clocks than 3900X.
However, it's entirely possible that when the 3900X is using 8 cores for example, it's running at 4GHZ. Which would negate that "stock clock" advantage of the 3800X.

Never took that into consideration before.

Ok so now we know the 12 core 3900x is slower than the 990k at gaming - but how slow? like 1-3%
it's basically nothing, the 12 core 3900x is the better buy

Who buys a $500 processors for 1080p.... it will all be equal at 1440p and above. 3900x for the win.....
