When can we see reviews? Hopefully well before the 5th.

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

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.

In fairness that is going to be the stick by which this is measured. I don't think anyone has doubted the capability, simply the value is up for grabs. It was the same back when Ryzen was first coming out, it was "Intel this, Intel that".
Nature of the beast I'm afraid.
It's not just the paste that's the issue really, it's the gap between the IHS and the Die.
Go to about 7 minutes in.

"To much silicone on IHS meant higher temps"
If Intel changed to better material and also reduced the gap between the IHS and Die the temps would be alot lower.
