I get that most people are using 1080p monitors and I get that using higher resolutions shifts the limit to the GPU.
I also get that for someone like me where 3440 X 1440 is the lowest resolution I would be gaming at 1080p results mean nothing.
If a Ryzen performs about the same at gaming at 3440 X 1440 or 4K as Intel, is mainly faster than Intel at productivity apps, and costs less than Intel I wouldn't have much reason not to consider Ryzen.
However; from what I've seen Ryzen is pretty similar to my 4790k at higher resolution gaming and the 4790Kis fast enough for me at apps, so I also don't have much reason to buy a Ryzen. Ryzen needed to be out a couple years ago when I was replacing my 990X to make me a customer.
