Ryzen is not out yet. Everyone will based their decision on reviews. I have my fingers crossed for AMD to deliver.

Ryzen,
if not for performance/$, or 300$ cpus sold a thousand $ by intel, or the lack of any kind of innovation from intel...
it would be to support a healthy competitive market.

According to the early numbers, I still think the 7700K has an edge, given that most of the time the performance bottleneck of a game/program is single-thread.

It does look like the main benefits of Ryzen really are going to be in multi core applications, core for core the signs don't look as good for gaming as some people are making them out to be imo. Still lots more info to come though, so quite early to make a judgement still

I'd wait to see Broadwell-E price cuts before deciding as they are going to need to come down a lot.

You'll probably be able to get a 6 core for the price of 7700K and although 7700K will have more IPC it's kind of short sighted to choose slightly more IPC over 50% more cores.

If I can get 6 or 8 cores with the same IPC as my Haswell i5, at a reasonable price, I'll probably move over to Ryzen.

pretty stupid poll tbh. unknown against known platform.many will go with hype when looking at it intel platform is still faster.

I just want AMD to be competition for Intel it drives improvement and value.

My 2500K-based portable gaming rig is in need of an update soon and I'll definitely be going AMD this time if the recent leaked benchmarks are correct. 1700X looks like the sweet-spot.
