Those base clock speeds for the 6 core chips are really low. Even with a higher IPC than AMD the Ryzen chips might actually edge them out in clock speed, especially because they'll overclock easily and lock in at 3.8+ ghz on the stock cooler and a cheaper B350 motherboard.
The real test is to see if those 6 core i5's will hold and sustain turbo on multiple cores at higher speeds with a decent cooler like the EVO212. If they can't, then i'd buy a Ryzen.

lol, if the problem with lga1151 v1 was power delivery... I would see no problem with those "T" variants being supported in older mobos. Intel and their BS

Wow. I just bought a 8700k yesterday. Intel didn't give time to think.

Why would anyone buy a processor now that doesn't have a hardware solution to Spectre and Meltdown?
