I 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
This 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/
Yes, customer Ryzen CPUs support ECC.
AMD Ryzen™ Processors
4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2933(O.C.)/2666/2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
I'm guessing the demand isn't there and won't be there unless some company can market it as some new gimmick with more mainstream appeal.

AFAIK, Ryzen won't support ECC, sadly.
I 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.

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.
64gb workstation ought to be enough for anybody. Jokes aside, what do you do if you are interested in >64gb workstations?
Lots of skeptical comments below. I tend to believe the result, given that Intel has slashed prices on its Kaby Lake/Skylake processors in anticipation of the Ryzen launch: http://wccftech.com/intel-amd-price-war-ryzen-processors/
If Intel slash prices it will presumably be at the bulk "tray" level and reflected on their ARK website.

That shows 'Microcenter' slashing prices, not Intel. If Intel slash prices it will presumably be at the bulk "tray" level and reflected on their ARK website.

Not saying this is predictive of an Intel price cut, but I do think that MicroCenter knows its audience.

I pre-ordered 1800x + the Asus TOTL mobo for Ryzen. It doesn't support ECC: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO/s...
