With one of them bad boys i won't have to upgrade for a long time for sure!
If it can manage 7-8 years like Sandybridge has I will be very happy, and I can see it doing that.
10%+ is rumoured, plus the ~20% clock bump and the 100% core bump =
Reported clocks base is +5%, boost +9%. +100% cores and +~20% TDP
Reported where? And and what?
No hard feelings mate, but where's the source for this info? This chart is also missing the 2nd Ryzen 9 3850X that was on the alleged 'leak' from AdoredTV.
I will be sceptical on all these leaks until we get something official from AMD themselves. I'm especially having a hard time believing that high-core count Zen 2's can turbo up to 5.0Ghz when the lower core count models can't. Just look at the 2000 series, even the 2300x manages to turbo to 4.2Ghz, just 100Mhz away from the 4.3Ghz of the 2700x.
However, in the event that the table is the real deal, those are some nice specs. The clockspeeds are still throwing me off though, as to which ones are best for gaming (since obviously the Ryzen 9 will be best for productivity).
10%+ is rumoured, plus the ~20% clock bump and the 100% core bump =
Christ that is tempting. Ill wait a few months after release this time round. I bought a 1700 on release day but could not get a hold of a x370 board. Ended up with a b350 and felt inferior ever since. . .
Why are you having a hard time believing it? It's all down to binning. The lower core counts are going to be from defective dies. Also, the monster chips that boost to 5GHz will be from the better-binned dies. This is how it's always worked.
Also bear in mind it's not all about "can't boost" it'll also be "won't boost". Even AMD have to do market segmentation and gimp some things accordingly, they are a business after all.
But also consider that your point about boost clocks is also not the case. Look at the boost clocks for the entire table above again, there's really only 300Mhz from the lowest to highest, if you exclude the extremes (the 3300 is likely to be really bad silicon and the 3850X will be super golden halo silicon) and the APUs; there's only 100Mhz difference between the 3700 and 3800X, there's only 100Mhz between the 3300X and 3600, the 3600X boosts higher than both the 3700 and 3800X.

3700X has got to be the sweet spot for enthusiast gaming and non-specialist productivity. That's very attractive. I don't believe the price but would love to be proved wrong.
all i know is the 3700x looks tasty...and if it lives up to its rumours, that'll be the replacement for my 3770k

Snap, already told the Mrs cpu, ram, ssd and gpu will come at around 500.

When the original Ryzen came out similar things were being said about the 6 core and 8 core parts and their leaked costs. They actually turned out to be pretty accurate.
We are just used to being drip fed the most basic of upgrades from Intel for the last 8 years or so and while I am not 100% sure myself that these prices and specs are accurate, I see no reason they couldn't be.
intel will have extremely bad times ahead trying to compete at that $99 price level.
