For comparison purposes, we used a Core i5-7600K running in our test rig and loaded the same CPU-z version (v1.78.1 x64).
This is not a conclusive result but the multi-threaded performance is really good for the AMD part. This chip is expected to retail at $259 US which is $17 more than the $242 asking price of the Intel part.
Just read that on WCCF. So wait.. Let me get my head around this. The six core 12 thread AMD Ryzen chip costs $17 more than a I5.
Hory shet.
Oh, the 7600k is an I7. Oh well, seems I was right (this is after digging for more info). It seems AMD are going to match Intel on prices but offer more at every step. So I7 for I5 money etc.
Just shows how much attention I gave Kaby though.
Edit again. No it isn't an I7. Hory shet. Damn Intel and their confusing number scheme. If we just add a 6 in place of a 5 we can charge 50% more !

It should definitely be the sweet spot for a few years to come. Then you can upgrade to an 8 core if we start seeing heavier loads.
I strongly suspect Intel will hit back with a 6 core desktop CPU. They have to. Which means we will finally start taking baby steps forward when it comes to core loads etc.

I still take it with a pinch of salt, BUT i cannot deny it is looking very likely my trusty old ivy bridge is getting replaced this year in favor for a ryzen cpu.

The last product/price stack looked spot on to me. I also think I am in agreement with AdoredTV, these leaks are deliberate. Sort of like a way for AMD to dangle the carrot to make sure people pay attention on release day.
I'm still quite torn personally. I guess if I did upgrade my 5820k at least I wouldn't have to buy any memory which is a bonus.
I won't jump on it on day one though. Got a couple of lean months coming up any way, which should give me time to analyse it all properly and make the right decision. I just don't think I need it, which does make me kinda sad

Yep i see where you coming from on that one, but, it is genuinely exciting to see this happening and the promise of true competition in the market is just incredible, we so badly need that.
See the thing is, i have a rma'd msi x99 gaming 7 board laying here and 16gb of memory, all it needed was that 5820k i been looking at, but with amd's lineup looking as insanely good value for money as it is, i just cant justify spending 450 euro currently on a new 5820k, which socket is looking to be replaced this year, kinda feels like pointing a bazooka towards my feet.
Day one wont happen for me, i want all the available review and benchmark data and i want the bios to mature for a month or 2 before i would buy ryzen.

Until AMD comes out with a CPU that beats Intel bye 25-50% until then i'm not even interested.
Until then i will be sticking with Intel.

25 - 50% be realistic dude, that's never going to happen and if by some miracle they did pull it off you'd be paying through the nose for such an increase in performance. So Intel would then become the affordable underdog..

Well 25-30% then.
From what i have read over the last couple of days seems like a lot of people are trying to write Intel off. Which is not going to happen i still believe that Intel does have something coming that will answer this.
Same again if this makes me a Fanboy B.F.D. it's the way i feel.
Yes there will be people buying AMD and there still WILL be people buying Intel.
Yes i'm a jerk but at least i'm honest about it.

They already have stuff to counter it, it's the X series, but they're priced at silly money which is why AMD being back in the game is a good thing.weather you are or are not buys a Ryzen cpu is irrelevant, the fact Intel will have competition will affect you regardless an you will benefit from it.

I can sit on the fence all day long and watch futile arguments unfold, it's the same old story
Apple vs Samsung,
Xbone vs PS4,
Intel vs AMD,
Radeon vs NVIDIA,
Console vs PC,
Liquid cooling vs Air,
Every Manufacturer vs Thermaltake.
One thing stays true and that is competition is good, so buy what you can afford, buy what you need then be happy in the knowledge that 6 months from now it'll be obsolete.

I'm not even talking about CannonLake or CoffeeLake i'm talking about IceLake & TigerLake.
Those two CPU's i believe that they are going to spank whatever AMD has coming after Ryzen.
I think AMD will not have an answer for those two CPU's and Intel will beat AMD to 7nm.

Problem is that people still buy ThermalTacky products and trying to make out how good there products are.
There called ThermalTacky for a reason.....lol

Yeah gotta say that did make me LOL. They'll be making motherboards next.

So you're talking about two products that are at least 2 years away, and about AMD's revisions of the Ryzen architecture both of which are completely unknown. Ok well why not just keep it in the here and now and what's actually happening, as that's what is being discussed and what is happening. Sorry if it comes across rude it's not ment to be, but talking about future products that know one has a clue on is detracting from what's actually happening.

For a start it doesn't bother me if it was rude it's text there's no context.
With those CPU's i think they maybe closer than what people think.
But yes i think that CoffeeLake and or CannonLake will be better than what Intel currently has.
I have said this before, Intel is playing the waiting game ATM there just waiting to see what Ryzen really is same again it's all in "House Benchmarks" but IMO Intel still has the upper hand in all of this.

Thermaltake might actually make decent products, but they just seem really slimy to me so I don't want to see. They're really desperate and are morally ambiguous. They may not be immoral, but I get the impression they wouldn't care if they were. They'd hide it behind a smile and a new product.
