Ryzen 5 1400 vs i5-7600

Is there any benchmarks on this comparison somewhere ?

Not yet- reviewers just got their samples of 1600X and 1500X today. But some 1400 CPUs were sold early in S.America, and there are a few benchmarks 1400 vs 1400@3.8 vs i5 7400 available. It is also a better comparison, as 7600 is much more expensive than R5 1400, and should be compared to 1600-1600X. So here is the link to the person doing early R5 1400 benchmarks:

Ah that's below my expectations. Considering current motherboard prices that would nearly be a match though.

Do those games in the comparison not use the extra threads ?

Tomb Raider DX12 is able to use more than 4 cores well, and I would expect Assassin's Creed benchmark, with so many AIs around, to offload that to extra threads. Witcher and Fallout are known to benefit from fast RAM, but are easy on CPU. Battlefield1 uses extra cores/threads in multiplayer, while in singleplayer (like here) it does well even on lower core-count CPUs. GTA5 struggles with 2-cores, can hick-up with 2c/4t, and rarely on 4c/4t, but average fps does not reveal that (something with the i5 7400 happens here at 4.59 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbDpMWo7XTk)
