#2Wow. AMD has really pulled through on this one. They are really giving Intel a run for their money. This is going to be great for consumers. What is interesting is the HUGE jump in multi-threaded performance on AMD. Very interesting.

#3Still Waiting for a real person that has a 'real chip' that has tested this thing and bench marked it for 'real'.
In so many years, I have never seen so much marketing where nothing actually exists in peoples hands, well since the introduction of 'segway', that took months of hype before we found out what it really was.
If it be true that this chip is what they say, then when will we see real benchmarks by real people? They're saying "March 5", yet the marketing stuff makes it appears that AMD already won, hell they're not even at the starting gate, hey I'm rooting for AMD, I wish this all to be true, but I'm not spending +$1,000 bucks for a new MB & Ryzen, until I know for a fact this thing is real.

But it's still losing in every web and office single threaded benchmark. EDIT: compared to 7700k that costs about the same

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but so what? You don't buy a high-end graphics card because office or websites are chugging...

They're coming in at half the price of equivalent Intel chips. They don't need to win, necessarily (which I didn't think was going to happen), they need to be competitive for a lot less money.
EDIT, in response to the other edit: sorry about that, I wasn't sure which comparison you were making. Still, the difference is slim enough that if I were in the market, I'd go with this one just to put the heat on Intel.

#7Impressive! While it doesn’t utterly destroy Intel, AMD does offer a MUCH better price/performance ratio. Things have gotten much more interesting indeed. Intel’s dominance is being called into question. As a result, we all profit.

#8> ... this means that the base memory controller in the silicon should be able to support ECC. We know that it is disabled for the consumer parts, but nothing has been said regarding the Pro parts.
ECC should be a standard feature. If you don't want it you don't have to use it but to disable simply for market segmentation is lame.

Who buys a $350+ processor with 8C/16T for web/office?

By a pretty small margin compared to equivalent Intel CPUs from what I've seen[1]. And the ryzen chips are a whole lot cheaper and beat Intel for parallel tasks.
I'm about to buy a beefy machine for FPGA development, I'm definitely considering AMD. Seems like I'd get better performance for a much lower price. I'm still waiting for more in-depth reviews though.
