Congratulations to AMD. It has been a long while.

Both Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 are set to be launched later, and Ryzen 7 is the first portion of the family to be released.
I predicted 100-200Mhz for XFR. I think the 1800X doesn't make much sense against the 1700X. I can't see paying $100 more for it, unless there is something we don't know.So I just watched the LinusTechTips video and he says XFR only gives an additional 100MHz... So basically the 1800X would boost to 4.1GHz. Not sure if that's all cores or not?
Anyway, the 1700 IMO is the real winner here.

That is not an unreasonable choice, but thanks to another baseline Intel has set for us, the question many will ask is: Should I get a 7700K or a 6900K if they were at the same price?For gaming I'd pick the 7700K.

(substitute 6900K with 1700X/1800X of course)

Linus said that the x part should get better overclocking, so if you OC as far as a chip can go, the 1700x would be better than the 1700. The 1700 also has a much lower base clock, so if you dont OC then that might be a factor. So for 17.5% more money you get 11.7% more cpu clock and higher OC head room with XFR.
7700K for gaming. 6900K is not ideal -- overpriced, worse IPC, lower clock potential, etc.
Stay far away from Broadwell-E if you are a gamer.
Pretty impressive. Can't wait for real reviews. Ryzen looks very strong, $1k+ CPU performance affordable to everyone now.
I'm really interested to see actual power numbers. My jaw will drop if AMD can pull off a 65w 8/16 3GHz+ CPU.
