To be honest I'm pretty sure there will be a downward movement in prices fairly quickly - perhaps even stopping the older models and these replacing them...
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
I think that's the plan. I suspect this is as a result of process refinements and/or more conservative binning to start with and then pushing it a bit more when they're more confident in the yields, reliability, etc. The high prices of these will make the older ones look bargainous and help move old stock. Then the prices of these can drop to more sensible levels.
It's what I'd do as if you don't, you end up with a load of old stock you can't move and there's money tied up in that stock which you simply can't get back.
That 3600XT just doesn't make sense. +100mhz on boost and same box cooler as 3600X? Priced extremely close to the 3700X?
If it's a 3600X refresh for 3600X pricing, that's... thoroughly unexciting. Priced at a margin above that it's a waste of everyone's time.
