I think I'm going to jump on this platform, a Skylake-X 6 core chip, Mobo and ram seems the upgrade I'm looking for moving from Haswell.. I hope so anyway! Looking to improve minimum frame rates..

Ryzen is a great CPU but the platform is not in the same league as the X99/X299. The lack of PCI-E lanes and RAM slots/channel make a big difference. Ryzen is AMD's mainstream, hopefully AMD are going to release a chipset to compete but it’s just a rumour so far.Why not go RyZen and get better bang for your buck and better performance

I find myself using my Ryzen PC for games more than my Intel now, think when Vega hits I will just use my Intel PC for work.This ^
Also I'm not impressed with Ryzens gaming performance to be perfectly honest.

Agreed. The only thing I'd consider X299 for is if I wanted/needed more than 2 GPUs. Unless of course they sort their pricing out and/or clock way higher than Ryzen.If you're looking to improve minimum frame rates in games but are not impressed with Ryzen's performance, you haven't been looking at it close enough. It's what Ryzen does VERY well indeed.

I would think the platform will have issues competing with Ryzen if Intel keep the same high price. Anyone that needs 8 core's will think long and hard about Intel now given the status quo.

I don't think those that share your view have a decent scope on the scene currently. Intel's platform isn't likely to be plastered with flaws and need for updates just to operate.
You have a x99 platform, don't pretend intel didn't have issues either.I don't think those that share your view have a decent scope on the scene currently. Intel's platform isn't likely to be plastered with flaws and need for updates just to operate.
+1, I did not think it would be coming soon but it could as it looks like AMD will be doing a 12/16 core with more PCI-E lanes and more RAM slots/channels. Will be interesting to find out how the mobo's and CPU's are priced.I'm looking forward to checking out the Ryzen HEDT platform paired with some nice fast ram. 16c/32t FTW
U tried it did ya?? Dear me this type of forum member......Those who expect Skylake overclocking abilities on the SkylakeX series, should take a step back.
Given the manufacturing process, energy and heat generated by the core tech higher ipc and manufacturing process, you would be extreme lucky to hit 4.2ghz.
And ofc nothing stops intel to sell the 8core for £1000.
