Agree. Most games don't make use of extra cores and 7700K has the highest clocks.
The question was: "How close would AMD Ryzen get to Intel's latest CPUs on a core-for-core, clock-for-clock, bang-for-buck basis?". Personally, I expected Intel to have a slight speed lead (for various reasons, including that software is not yet optimized for Ryzen architecture).
