Amen.

If you are only interested in gaming then hyperthreading offers little to no benefit. May as well go 6C/6T.Who needs a 8 core for gaming? I sure don't. I nice 6 core 12 thread will do me just fine until 2020![]()
It's going to be considerably faster than the 1600X for gaming, so yeah, it's going to be a much better choice for that purpose.
I don't understand why the same handful of people keep bringing up Ryzen in this thread over and over again, same discussions over and over again. I get that you have a preference for platform or multinational corporation, but it's getting annoying.

Pretty simple. Two competing products. The performance of desktop CPU's fall into a very narrow band. The reality is nothing will be considerably faster than anything else for similar cost.

I mean i5 8600k will be like i5 2500k in the past. Looking forward for pre-order or bundles.Yeah the i5 8400 is interesting. The i5 6 cores will be competition for the 1600X I'm just not sure if Z370 is worth buying over AM4 or X99.
Perhaps things are different in multiplayer games then. This roundup of single player games from 2016 found no benefit.thats not true today at all, maybe back in 2011-2012
big difference between i5s and i7s especially in minimums, the only difference between the two is hyperthreading

personally I dont see the 6c/6t i5s lasting as long as the 4c/4t i5s. maybe if they were 8c/8t
Why buy the superior product now when you can take a gamble and buy something that performs worse currently in the hope that it will do better years in the future, when it most likely will be obsolete anyway, top logic.
If you want some 'future proofing' go for the i7, if you want immediate performance, the i5 might be very attractive since it's a true 6 core.
Define significant. 10% more frames per second is insignificant when running 150FPS. Especially when one system costs 30% more.
Numbers pulled out of a dark nebulae of course, at this point I'm not sure if you're shilling or trolling, it's ridiculous.
Again, this is a Coffee Lake thread, if you don't have anything to contribute other than trumpet your favorite company's marketing, I'd say the Ryzen thread is a better fit.
