Unless there were some issues with the sample at new horizon, we know that ryzen at 3.4Ghz is sensibly slower than 6900k at 3.5-3.7Ghz even in 4k, actually.We know that ryzen does well against a 6900k in gaming
Bear in mind that core i5 non k can be easily put in like $40 mobo with stock cooler and it will be just fine. If a mobo+cooler for 4c ryzen that is good enough for safe 4.5Ghz OC totals over $100, they are basically tied. It is the same issue that makes 7350k so unappealing outside of really niche use cases. I assume Ryzen matches Broadwell in OC department.Anything close to 4.5 Ghz on good air cooling and the core i5 non k line is going to have a really tough time fetching the current prices given that AMD is pricing 4C/4T at USD 150 and 4C/8T at USD 199.
With that said, i do look forward building myself a little Ryzen workstation in the future.
