I've compared my 7700K vs i7-5960X. Both overclocked, 5960X has more cores but overall 7700K has the edge.
Currently my video rendering rig is my gaming rig - Ryzen setup. Anything to do with production, can consider Ryzen.
My photography rig using Core i3-6100 only, works fine for Photos or doing simple images. Once you go do stuff that utilizes core like crazy, Ryzen is the choice.

Glad I did. Faster work, smooth gaming experience and don't have to deal with overheat when doing high OC.
Oh, Intel still continues to use shitty thermal compound inside IHS.
So when we considered the price, heat, and overal performance, no doubt ryzen is a better choice compared to its counterpart.
But i heard some rumours saying 3rd Q next year ryzen 2nd gen will be unleashe with at least 4.5ghz core clock achieavable when overclock?
Im willing to wait for that monster..
