You don't have long to wait. Zen 2 goes retail tomorrow, so the embargo on benchmarks ends and a bunch of reporting from the usual suspects will appear.

The verdict is in. Aside from games Ryzen 3000 is a big win; "practical" application run substantially faster on these CPUs. Intel still has a small absolute lead for a bunch of traditional gaming benchmarks, but work loads like compression, rendering, compiling, transcoding are nearly all faster than anything Intel offers.

Expect large price cuts from Intel soon.
