For 100$ more you can get a Ryzen 1700 with double the cores and hyperthreading to boot. Seems like it would be beastmode for multiboxing.

Intel still has the lead on single threaded performance.

I would love to hear some first hand feedback about the new AMD CPU.

I've seen figures of Ryzen having 93% of Kaby Lakes single threaded performance, which is great, but the 1700 can only be OCed to 3.9-4ghz from what I've seen and a 7700k can hit 5.2ghz.

I'd rather have the extra Ryzen cores even with the lower clock speed. Personally I plan to build a new AMD system but I'll wait on Ryzen version 2 which should be much improved and OC higher.

Yes but if you're boxing 6-12 toons in EQ Ryzen should pull ahead.

Why anyone would OC it to 5.2 is beyond me.
