..it seems the i7-7700k is still king when it comes to overall gaming performance.. .!
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).
Still baffled that even on the exact clockspeed the i7 at 3.8 GHz is still faster in some of the games they used in those tests.
