Are there any clock for clock comparisons in mainstream benchmarks yet? Intel are going to have to drop prices so comparing Ryzen to current prices is pointless, apart from to show how much Intel have been laughing all the way to the bank in recent years.

The clock is ticking, soon, VERY SOON!
find excavator benchs and add to them 50% you should have a solid idea of Ryzen retail IPC, if you wanna believe AMD's presentation slides.

Been watching this thread with great interest
I'm due a system upgrade with my 3570K getting a little long in the tooth now, although to be fair still going strong with a mild OC since day one.
If I upgrade to Zen, which I'm seriously considering, it would be nice to make sure it lasts a good few years again, although hopefully the new competition that AMD are bringing will mean progress stops being so stagnant.
At the moment although I'm tempted to jump straight in for a Zen I think its probably sensible to wait a couple of months for prices to settle and availability of chips and boards to improve. Gonna be hard to watch you lot showing off your new shiny builds though!
The 3570k is still a champion of a CPU for gaming. I have mine at stock and it's fine in today's top games. Saying that all I have at the moment is BF1 and The Division and can play these at ultra, where the bottleneck is still the GPU.
Leaking slides is just teasing us
. So it should be pretty close to Skylake IPC wise if this slide is true?EDIT: Just looked at VideoCardz's site, they're leaking like crazy!

If you was going to buy a high end AM4 Mobo, which brand would you personally be buying? im tempted by the Asrock Taichi, as i like the white / black and blue aesthetics, but if theres a more featureful board from a different vendor i could be swayedSo if you was buying, knowing what you know, would you day 1 buy or wait a few weeks as something else is coming?
Asrock would be high on the list due to Dual m.2 slots, Asus Hero dropped the ball with only 1 m.2 slot . Never been a fan of MSI but Titanium looks to be the peak of the pack so far dual m.2 .
Gaming 5 does look very nice but single m.2 so would wait for the Gaming *
yes, 2nd NVMe could be used on the 3rd PCIe slot but guessing it all depends on how they have wired them up. Reasons why i'd choose Gigabyte and ASrock

Pffttt bang for buck isn't cheaping out, you just want the most reliable and most features for the least money.... it's the british way!!
Hopefully launch at lunchtime?? Going off the Gibbo insights

Well, it's tea time in about 5 minutes based on the rush to my work kitchen...
Yup its been brilliant to be fair and for the most part is still fine. I've invested in an Oculus Rift and a GTX 1070 which perform nicely with that cpu but I do see the minimums get a bit low from time to time in both VR and non-VR. Certainly I'm in no rush to upgrade but if I'm honest I'm getting the upgrade itch and I'd like to support AMD in the interests of some good healthy competition
oh you cheeky monkey you. *ruffles hair*
I don't really see the point of dual M.2 on a board that has a proper U.2 connector anyway. Hell it has enough PCI-E slots to use SLI/CF plus a PCI-E NVMe drive. Who the hell needs support for four NVMe drives? and why don't they simply go for capacity over quantity.
The top Gigabyte board has support for eight SATA-3 drives in addition to it's NVMe support, how many drives do they think people wanna connect? lol.
