These seem to look pretty good imo. Especially the low power consumption.

They don't look particularly good to me at all apart from when you factor in the cost, power consumption (many aren't bothered) and tasks outside of gaming.

A 200mhz bump in speed via xfr presumably, 2 more cores/4 extra threads and it's hardly convincing against a chip that's a rehash released well over 6 months ago. Hope it's fake.

So if you ignore the fact it's 40% of the price of a comparable Intel chip, and ignore the reasons people go for 6-8 core chips then it doesn't look good? /shock.

It depends what you determine as comparable. From a gaming perspective I see it as disappointing when coffee lake is this year. £390 isn't 40% of £430. You're referring to more expensive Intel chips which this slide doesn't refer to.

Let's not forget, more than 12 months ago you could buy a 5820k for well under the cost of a 1700x. Going off the above slide, that would appear the best value buy of the last few years if you factor in overclocking. Like I say, hope it's fake or they clock well.

6 cores and better than 4 for gaming, so if i can have 8 for the price of 4, i'll get 8, or maybe not, i'm actually going to get 6 for less than the cost of 4, but you stick with the more expensive 4.
Wouldn't want Intel to think they can't sell those chips at that price.
 
Well according to this leak, the IPC (instructions per cycle) would put Ryzen & Kabylake about on par at least in CPU Mark. i.e. they perform about the same when at the same clock speed.
That alone is quite the achievement.

They may not beat Intels gaming performance, but they will still offer plenty of gaming power as well as all the other benefits, for a cheaper price point. The FPS differences will be minor so it doesn't really matter. We still have to see how the Ryzen 5 lineup will compare which I can't wait for.

I think the 7700K will still come out on top, but not in all games, some games RyZen will better the 7700K because with some games more threads are better than single core Mhz, even in those where the 7700K is ontop its not going to be by huge amounts.

IMO you have to look beyond that anyway, as time goes on the 7700K performance will fade as it is limited by 4 cores, the 8 and 6 core Ryzen chips will grow in performance.

Oh, if you need more Mhz on one core, put more Mhz on one core, while 8 zen cores may not do 4.8Ghz i'm sure one will.

Yes it'l be interesting. I guess it depends if the game like cores or clocks.
Also of note. Every 100Mhz overclock over stock, will have a bigger % impact on performance on the Ryzen, than on the 7700k.

AMD aint going to smoke Intel in some kind of 25% faster across the board way. The issue is with cores and threads and what is likely in the future. Who needs 8C/16T now but may need in x years time. What is the life span of a PC system these days, judging from around here its not all that long

Had my i7 3770k for what 4 years, nearly 5 years now and tbh it still does perfectly fine, only reason I am upgrading is because I can and want something new to play with.
 
Reviewers should benchmark games with twitch stream running too, so they can test how much better it performs with mutliple tasks.

Unlikely to happen, too much like real work and its not something they can put on a slide, at least mainstream reviewers, who are often useless these days with very narrow review methods that rarely tell you the whole story.

I prefer to look on Youtube for new reviewers with fresh ideas not corrupted by vendors.
