For reference, Intel's top of the line CPU, the i7-5960X is also an 8-core/16-threads processor that runs at 3.0GHz, Turbo Boosts to 3.50GHz and has a TPD of 140W, but it is made on Intel's 22nm process compared to Zen's 14nm.

I doubt Zen will beat the Intel processor, but if it manages to come close, it will be a huge improvement.
