Ok, so you are going on record saying that the top end Ryzen will be more then 100% faster than an i5 7600K. That's baseline to be minimal level acceptable to your claims.

That's $240, $10 short of half the price or Ryzen.
That's your value baseline. That is the enthusiast market. If AMD falls short, they should be crucified by everyone using the value logic.
The 1700 is $329, and, when overclocked (ACCORDING TO LEAKS), gets near 1800x levels.

It's also only 65w (base clocks). Heck, even according to leaks, the 1700x even beats the 7700k in single-threaded and the 6950x in multi-threaded apps. At stock. The 7700k boost up to 4.5hz. The 1700x? Only 3.8

Why the hell would I buy 7600k if I can get that, particularly if it's true? And that's an 8 core I'm referring to. The 6 cores won't even come out until 2nd quarter.
