First need 2 see benchmarks. I still think AMD got nothing for 8700k setup

Ryzen "2" ?

hmmm, so more like £540-560 for chip+board (flagship motherboard though, obviously there's choices). Hmmm, about where I guessed but was hoping it would come in a little lighter.
I have a CH6 and still have the cold boot issue, have run various bios currently on the latest beta.
I have also set the dram boot voltage higher, disabled csm, and various other things.

1900X on TR4 is probably the closest

Apart from being much cheaper. You don't need an 8700k to play games at high res and high FPS

Gaming for the vast majority of people is not about 1080P with Low settings on 1080TI's, overwhelmingly people have lesser GPU's than that and with those a Ryzen 1600 gets you the same FPS as the 8700K.
This has been said plenty of times before, yes Intel are better for gaming on very high end GPU's, they will no doubt keep that crown, but its not going to be by a huge amount, it was not Ryzen 1### vs 8700K and Ryzen 2### will just close that gap even more.
That's not AMD fanboyisum its just common sense. the 1600 costs less than half the 8700K, use the difference for a better GPU, or an SSD.

New AMD cpus will still run on X370 - it's not a socket change.

400 series Chipsets may have a couple of features the 300 doesn't.
Its perhaps window re-dressing so Motherboard Vendors has reason to market new Motherboards along with the new CPU's, since they ain't necessary.

Will the Ryzen 2 CPU be the last to use the AM4 socket ?
If so does that mean the X470 boards will see no future AMD CPU release after the Ryzen 2.?

No, Ryzen 3 will use the same socket and maybe Ryzen 4 as well: AMD have said they are committed to AM4 until 2020. Hopefully they won't have any annoying power issues that prevent certain lower-grade older boards from working with newer CPUs (e.g. the problem Intel had with Coffee Lake) but so far so good.

Thanks for that.
Not used to thinking about longevity of a board beyond the CPU I'm using, think Intel.
Gigabyte or ASRock, Gigabyte or ASRock mate
Glad I spent a ridiculous amount on the Asus then...!
What I don't get with this launch is how it has all been kept under wraps so well? No real leaks or anything. The date isn't even confirmed officially!
Been following this thread for a while now patiently waiting to change out my 1300X that was a forced purchase!

No cold boot issues on my CH6.

This, I genuinely think there's going be a decent number of these shifting. Depends how they do. The hype train hasn't been too silly so expectations may well be met.
It's possibly the first BIG upgrade (cores and better single) than the older Intel (sandy-haswell) rigs a lot are still sat on. Obviously the coffee lakes cover it too but... I've certainly been quite tired of little movement to look forward to
Yep. I'm using a 2600k system right now that I'm giving to my cousin so he can finally ascend from his ****** non-gaming laptop.
The official reviews will let me decide between 8700k and 2700x.

Same here, not since a BIOS update Autumn last year.
Brilliant motherboard.
I'm in the same boat, but with a 3770.
Hopefully £329 isn't the final MSRP, as 8700k is cheaper.
