Idk, the Ryzen benchmarks seems to do pretty well. Yes it is lagging behind intel which shouldn't surprise anyone but its not exactly very far behind... Considering the price points and the value proposition that Ryzen brings, I think intel will respond with a price drop across the board one way or another. Most likely with their 8xxx series.

What I am wondering is whether or not it would be a good idea to sell people's current 6700k and etc while the price is still high before intel launches their 8xxx series and drops the prices.

The review I just read showed 1800X and even 1700X and 1700 to be worse than an i7 7700k in price/performance. Ryzen seems as if it was neutered by its own cores. If they'd just put in less cores and increased the clock instead they would easily be eye-to-eye with intel.

Well they do have their 6 cores and quad cores coming up so... Maybe then?
