Haven't read yet, but did they test for gaming stuttering, too, or just synthetic benchmarks?
From what I've seen AMD's new Ryzen CPUs do better in maintaining a constant framerate than Intel's CPUs, possibly because AMD's SMT implementation and the switching between threads is better than Intel's.
Also this Intel CPU seems to run hot, which means this is a compromise Intel made to be able to "win" these benchmarks. I wonder what sort of problems that will create in the day to day use of it, or in the long term (dying more quickly?)
Finally, like someone else said, this won't be available for purchase for most people until early 2018. By then AMD's updated Ryzen CPUs should be out. Strange that Intel would give out its chips almost half a year earlier for review...
