It is a full 38% faster than the AMD FX-8350 and around 10% faster than the i5 4670k.

That does almost fit in with AMD's claims of a 40% IPC improvement over Excavator.

As for the Ivy bridge Chip, we need to keep in mind that it was released 3 years ago, Intel hasn't exactly stood still.

Nowadays an i3 is enough to beat everything (or almost) AMD has. Even with Intel's improvements, if that leaked performance turns out to be true, Zen will bring AMD in the fight again versus Intel's mid-low i5s.

And we still don't know if Zen will ship with those clocks or higher.

This is exactly the case I want, I wouldnt go as all out as Linus but still a nice 1070 i7 build in that thing would be amazing for me.

Looking at all these small cases make me go...

Airflow isn't a big problem in those cases as the fan components (GPU and CPU) are so close to the exterior that they don't really need extra fans.
