Ryzen has longer term potential when they finally make games that make use of the cores. Right now games are optimized for 4-cores and highest clock frequencies and that's why the 7700k or 8700k...

^I'd hold off on coffee lake(not like you have a choice any way) until even the ryzen refresh in February if you don't need to upgrade now. If you do need to upgrade now I'd say Ryzen is a solid...

No way. One major site couldn't even get theirs past 4.8 on air, and couldn't do 5ghz on water at any voltage. And how many review sites got their review CPUs hand-picked by Intel? Intel wouldn't...

Would you care to elaborate? Ryzen wins on most multithreaded tasks. The 33% more cores makes the clock advantage moot for multithreaded tasks.
Now the one area that Coffee lake does excel in is...

Sorry if that wasn't clear, I meant clockrate, both stock and overclocked; either way, Intel is about 20% better, and they have higher IPC for a given clockrate. It looks like every k-class Coffee...

You do realize that the 8700k uses TIM and is not soldered, and has worse thermals than Ryzen right? Unless you plan to delid Ryzen is probably the better option if you value good thermals until...

Yes, but the 8700k can do things that a 1700 can't do (although the 1700 holds up in fine in niche moviemaking tools I literally don't know a single person that uses). If the price difference is...

The 8700k does not change anything for Ryzen. 1700 is still a good value.

Considering that the 8700K is $370+ if you can find it in stock to begin with, $270 looks more than competitive especially if you take into consideration the motherboard and cooling costs you are...

Prices aren't even near the front page prices before for these. Prices should be going down very soon on these Ryzen chips. Wouldn't bother buying any of these at the prices listed in the OP.

Now that the 8700k came out at what price does the 1700 become a good value?
