Pretty disappointed with the bang-for-buck ratio of the Ryzen. The i7-7700k seems to perform better on all games that are not optimized for more than 4 core (Civ VI was used in the benchmark). And the 7700k is hundreds of bucks cheaper as well.

Had expected more from Ryzen to he honest. They don't seem to able to compete in the game market, which I had expected.
