So a consumer at above 1080p (and gamers are mostly at least headed that way) gets 5-10% less gaming up til gpu throttle & 50% more actual work done.
Philosophically, we all want to wait forever for tech just around the corner, but we have to jump sometime and endure ~static performance for some years.
Ryzen kinda allows both. New gen tech is too mild a tag for it. Already we have seen modest tweaks to games & mobo bioses, yield astonishing improvements. Ryzen/fabric has a future, intels ~only a past imo? - last gasp of some ageing architecture, or one that ryzen has certainly trumped.
You dont just get ryzen as is, u get what it will be, free & w/ little hassle ~= an ~upgrade every 3 months for a year+.
Thats worth a little patience w/ the inevitable supply glitches that result from such a surprising and massive success.
IMO, u r mad not to get the x370 chipset am4 mobo, for the 4 precious extra usable pcie3 lanes.
The r5 1600 is widely regarded as the sweet spot - lots cheaper & u wont really miss 2 extra cores often, if ever, as we see in these tests.
