I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

AMD has almost always made compromise products. That is, if you feel sorry for the money for top-end hardware from Intel / Nvidia, take AMD, but with a number of reservations. In the 3000 line, there are fewer of these reservations, in my opinion. This processor is enough for the eyes of my GTX 1070 Ti. And in rendering and resource-intensive tasks, it is much faster than analogues from Intel for a similar price.
For fans of just playing and overclocking, I do not recommend it. Buy yourself an Intel and enjoy.

For work, for example, with graphics and 3D - that's it!
If it is cheaper than 3700X, then take it, you won't regret it!

Pros

Top performance for a reasonable price. Performance in games - at a decent level. You won't notice a slight lag behind Intel. In rendering and other tasks that require processor power, it is much faster and preferable to more expensive competitors from you-know-who. Support for PCI-EXPRESS 4.0 is a good start for the future.

Cons

Very high temperature. With dropsy Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240, during long renders in C4D, the temperature reaches 75.76 degrees (according to the diode CPU sensor, not the "lid sensor"). I am silent about stress tests, that's why they are stress tests. Aida64 - approximately 80 degrees (full load on the CPU, video card, memory, etc.) In games, it is slightly inferior to the i7 8700K and analogues from Intel. But who cares?! For a smooth picture (without stripes on the screen), you still have to turn on vertical sync in almost all games. As a result, we still have 60 frames per second.
