Ryzen Hype IS REAL!!

Sounds impressive, yes...
No 3rd party reviews or testing done yet so it's all speculation if they will be as good as promised or not.
Yes, low price point sounds good but... If they fail at performance, price/performance ratio might still lose to Intel.
Might, I hope it wont but... nothing is certain yet.

Nah. No use of being impressed with companies. After all, they make money on us, not the other way around 
Still, a good competition is healthy and consumers can only benefit from it. We will see how the market reacts after the new CPUs surface and benchmarks hit the tech sites.

I do have to agree with this statement, though:
"AMD's pricing strategy is encouraging, and it doesn't have to beat Intel in every category if it can provide a healthy price-to-performance ratio. A resurgent AMD will certainly help the struggling PC market and perhaps force Intel to alter its own pricing model."
And, honestly, it does seem to me that Intel's been pretty lazy given the lack of competition from AMD, as well milking us because "where else are you gonna go for a high-end CPU?"

I don't see an answer yet for the 7600k/7700k Sure 8 cores is great for content creators assuming the benchmarks are real, but for everyday Joe Gamer. Intel still the only solution. There are more processors sold in the 200-300 range then anywhere else so until they can attack that range.....
Still more competition is good

Just because its 8 cores doesn't mean that it doesn't help?
Sure most games will only utilize 4 cores, but these extra 4 cores can be utilized by other programs / video recording software etc. This will appeal to many many people. The 4 cores that will be used while gaming are going to be around haswell level it seems so..... I don't see your statement meaning anything.
I am really hoping for AMD Ryzen platform as my 8320 setup is certainly dated compared to modern intel platform.
With that said we are taking about "leaked" prices and benchmarks on a non-production CPU. Until we see the sticker price in the store and get some benchmarks on the retail Ryzen CPus to intel kabylake I am still going to take everything with a grain of salt.

I can't seem to find it, but there was an article I read recently where the author stated that what he was really looking forward to was the Ryzen 5 chips - which he sees as the sweet spot for gamers, particularly given the performance relative to price.
