#2That TDP is unreal. 95 Watts?
Looks like AMD has made a real performance breakthrough here. When is general availability expected?

#3I won't be replacing my i7 6800K build any time soon, but I'm very happy to see AMD looking competitive again. There hasn't been much excitement about the recent generations of i7 for good reason, and hopefully this forces them to start pushing the envelope again.

It's a hard launch on March 2. I believe preorders are already sold out though.

#5This article doesn't actually list any benchmarks and the link/URL is totally broken for the "Ryzen offers even better single-threaded performance per clock than Intel’s Kaby Lake." - http://single-threaded/

#6Just a reminder that wccftech.com is notoriously pro-AMD. I would caution against taking their word as proof.
I'm not an AMD hater (actually own AMD stock), just cautious.

TDP would be for stock clock, but still that is very good.

And 65W for the Ryzen 7 1700, which is an absolute feat for 8 cores

#9I can't wait to see the result this will have on the CPU market especially with the rest of their CPU line up coming later this year

Exactly. Ridiculous Intel pricing and artificial limitations were a consequence of de facto monopoly.
I absolutely hate how they cap maximum RAM on consumer machines, so that you need to pony up for a Xeon workstation if you need more than 64 GB.
