The biggest thing helping Ryzen competitiveness is honestly the continuing supply issues with Coffee Lake. For lower end builds that would be getting an i5-8400 it's hard to recommend to people that they fight over newegg and amazon in-stock notifications instead of just ordering Ryzen.
I would have to disagree. What is helping Ryzen is that it is a really good processor, and good value for what you get.
Once AMD can get those clocks higher lets say 400-500mhz, then Intel might be in a little bit of trouble.
Some people actually do need more cores over higher IPC.
