Ryzen R5 CPU's, anyone considering one?

Absolutely looking at these cpu's, i've been on a laptop for the past few years, will be great to have a full system again. A 1600x paired with a 2nd hand Zotac 1070 if possible is what i'm thinking about.
 
When will reviews be dropping for the R5 etc? Is it 11th April, day of release?

Haven't heard official word of when the reviews are out. But there's a few reviewers who have already disabled 2 cores on an 1800X to essentially give a 3+3 1600X; gaming benchmarks were within 4-5% of the 1800X. So it seems most games don't scale past 6C/12T at the moment.
