I don't know, the first benchmarks were somewhat disappointing, especially when it comes to games. AMD says thats because it isn't optimized yet. I'm willing to believe that. So I'm just gonna wait until the CPUs are better optimized and stay with my Intel rig until then. I'll give it a year or two, by then Ryzen should also be cheaper and stuff. So yeah, no need to hurry.

From the gaming benches that I saw, I could see that something is limiting RyZen in lower resolutions, but it's not the graphics card which is limiting there. At higher resolutions, the advantage of Intel CPUs is melting quickly, especially in 1440p where Ryzen is much closer to the 6900K than in full HD or even 720p.

So yeah, it looks like games are still not optimized for Ryzen. Also I'm pretty sure new drivers might give it some pretty good performance increases

Just got confirmed by AMD: http://www.pcgameshardware.de/AMD-Zen-Codename-261795/News/Ryzen-Performance-steigern-1222293/
