I've been following Ryzen for a month now. Since Ryzen r7 benchmark is out, am i safe to assume that even if i continue to wait for their Ryzen r5 1400x the performance is same as Kabylake i5 7500? Purely just for gaming.
unfortunately, no more r5 1400x, but r5 1600x and r5 1500x XD with higher clock.
R5 1600x (6C/12T) BC 3.6/TC 4.0 R5 1600x (6C/12T) BC 3.5/TC 3.7
That's heavily overclocked old processor. If you look at games with modern standard ( DX12, vulkan ), Ryzen can fight on par Intel. So it really depends on game developers now to optimize.
@4.2Ghz his i5-3570k is not heavily overclocked imo. To be fair, FarCry primal is heavily single threaded but i expect better result with The Division.
One thing i noticed is that he used RX-480 in his test while most other reviewer used Nvidia cards, is it AMD infamous driver overhead/improper multi-threaded causing such abysmal performance?
goldfries i saw your post last week at FB that u use RX-470 G1 to test Ryzen? What is the result?

Was on RX 470 initially because I thought I saw the benchmark lower than expected.
Once I found out it was some other stuff I run in the background, I stopped doing benchies on it and went on to GTX 1080.
The reason I tested on RX 470 first is because IF the RX 470 under performs then then that's going to be really bad and need not test higher end cards.

That particular test was toward more mainstream setup, RX480 he claimed are best mainstream GPU ma.
Even AMD doesn't talk about Gaming performance much BUT if you look at benchmarks, they're actually on par with Intel offering in most cases while being behind on some.
You're getting it all wrong.
Ryzen is not ABOUT GAMERS, Gamers is just 1 part of it.
Ryzen is about unprecedented computing power at certain price level, and they did it.

Also, only one online store had price cut. Intel never gave any price cut.
Lead in game performance? Lead, by a bit in most cases.
It's no wonder you're not excited, your news all wrong and expectations donno come from where also.
Okay, maybe my expectations were quite different (but not that different from many). In the end, it didn't quite get where I wanted it ('gaming performance' in particular still behind Intel).
Reading the reviews, praise for the sheer power of Ryzen for content creators, which is not something I would be interested in. No way this is a 5/5 from me, just my opinion.
No? Online retailers not Intel my bad. Okay, maybe my expectations were quite different (but not that different from many). In the end, it didn't quite get where I wanted it ('gaming performance' in particular still behind Intel).

AMD has been teasing Ryzen as back to high performance market and great for content creator. It is user's wrong perception that high performance must means gaming.
Also should not dismiss Ryzen's lack of performance in gaming now as conclusion. For so many years, AMD been missing from high end gaming market, so game developer didnt spend much resource/time to optimize their game for AMD. AMD claimed they're working with developers now to optimize their game, how to see how 'far' these optimization can help
As previous, if you're pure gamer looking for upgrade, Kabylake i5/i7 still best option, proper optimization + high clock speed out of box.

Let's wait and see Ryzen 3 / 5 first. It's still too early to say anything yet.
Dev still need to code for it, and i think Ryzen SMT is still not fully utilize in current software solution, heck HyperThreading used to give me negative scaling in some games many years ago but now not anymore.
Yeah there was once upon a time HT causes issues for games, its the same here for amd i assume , this cpu is a multi threading beast is all i can say

Well if you go higher resolution, the gap diminishes.
If you are running graphics card like GTX 1060 and below, the gap is negligible.
