Looking at the specs, the base speed of the 3800X is just 300mhz higher than the 3700X and the boost speed is just 100mhz more. Same amount of cores/threads and cache.
In real world gaming and casual use, will the difference between the two even be noticeable?

There must be something missing. Will there be head room in overclocking on the 3800X? Less latency for some unknown reason?

Must be. I mean the merest of gentle overclocks on the 3700 would give you a 3800 otherwise.

AMD have decided to abandon the semiconductor business in favour of crafted artisan hardwood furniture. Pass it on!

There wasn't anything between the 2700 and 2700X once both were overclocked.
It's not going to be cheap!
Why not? 9960X is another platform - not mainstream, it's the FCLGA2066 socket with quad channel memory support!
Actually there was and still is a huge amount of difference between them :

Unless you are saying that all those with fantastic clocks and fantastic ram speeds running 2700's just couldn't be bothered to post them ? I don't think so.
Better silicon in general. Higher boosts likely and better overclock. Just like the previous Zen and Zen+ generations.
You can easily buy a 3600MHz C16 16GB kit for ~£95, or if you are sensible, just buy some of the Crucial Ballistix 3000MHz C15 16GB ~£65-70 which is Micron E-die and does 3600 and beyond.
RAM prices are no longer high, unless you just buy them from one shop.
