Beating an 8700K and 7820x, not bad at all. Nice to see AMD giving Intel some competition again. Hopefully this leads intel to drop prices,

  The 8700K's main draw over the Ryzens is single-core performance though.

    True, but it looks like these 2700X will come out under the 8700K's price point. So if a Ryzen7 2700X has better multithreaded (aka: compile times, blender rendering, etc. etc.) speeds than something spec'd ~$50 to ~$100 more than it, that's a winner by any stretch of the imagination. Single-core performance is most important in Javascript and Video Games. But most production tasks these days are multithreaded.

    Admittedly niche, but my main draw for the 8700K was Hackintosh compatibility.
