Very much looking forward to the benchmarking on these puppies.

Not sure TBH, but product reviews usually hit on the first day of sale these days.

All comes down to pricing for me. I just hope Intel remember that amd are serious competition right now.

Very true. Right now the Ryzen 5 1600 is around US$200. The i7-8700k is scheduled for US$359 (not even going to go into motherboard differences). If the i7 can beat the R5 by that 55.7% price difference in games and compute tasks then fair enough, but if it can't then it's going to be a harder sell the further that performance difference drops.

Just need to get the benchmarks now to really see how everything looks when all is said and done.

Also, remember that this $369 price is for 1K unit orders. These are retailer prices and do not account for retail margins etc. Intel is doing the old "list a price that isn't the MSRP" trick.

We went 3 posts without Ryzen this Ryzen that, sigh.

Tom did say it was done in his subscribers post, just needed to log on and enable the review today I think

You think they smartened up and used proper thermal transfer in the lid this time?

Highly Doubtful....
