These chips both cost right at $400, and are pretty much on par. What am I missing?

These benchmarks show that the 1700X is competitive in single thread preformance with the high end i7s, while having double the amount of cores for the same price. Add in that all AMD processors have unlocked multipliers and appear to have quite a lot of overclocking headroom, you have an insane amount of value.
