Yeah? What's a 6950X go for? That's what you should be comparing a 1800X to.

So if this is like FX, the RYZEN 3 would have the same overclock abilities, just less cores and threads for 130$ at the bottom.
I'd like this IF I can swing it.
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X 6/12 16MB 95W 3.3GHz 3.7GHz 3.7GHz+ Yes $259
EDIT: That's around the same price as the FX-9590 when I got it, which you can pick up right now under 200$.

Exactly what I meant Scotty: an overclocked $500 CPU competes with an OC'ed $1600 CPU...

Are you saying that is a good thing or a bad thing? I mean, compared to a $1000 6900k and $400-500 for an LGA 2011v3 mobo, that doesn't sound half bad.

I would probably look at the $229 six core, twelve thread CPU and get the eqivilant to a Sabertooth 990FX R2 AM4 type board and skip the higher end ROG type board. Then when the real ZEN apu's come out build and apu rig also.
With AMD it was impossible on most boards ... also for APU there were only 2-3 good boards and even these were not the best so I just wonder what we will get. I would like to get something for review but I have no contact with motherboard manufacturers right now so I will probably end with "lesser evil" till something good appears on the market. I doubt we will see something special just after premiere. We could see ASUS Hero but it's not the top of the line. I guess that everything for enthusiasts and more extreme overclockers will appear 2-3 months after CPU premiere.
It's not any different than comparing a 8c/16t chip to a 4c/8t chip, which is what you all are doing. Besides, 8/16 is closer to 10/20 than it is to 4/8.

Hey! I was going to pull the trigger on an Rx 480 8gb and call it good for a while! Then you go and post stuff like that! Why do you hate my wallet?!

EDIT: Quick side note and i'm sorry if this was discussed before but WTH ? the Ryzen with the X on the name auto-overclock ? What's the fun in that for OC maniacs ? and the price difference
Looks to me that most people who are into manually overclocking and looking for a value configuration won't be buying any chip with an 'X' on the end.
Wonder how that 65W SR5 1500 (6C/12T) will OC on a B350 board? Could be an awesome buy.

Who says you can't run a normal, manual OC on the X SKU chips?

I never said they couldn't............
I was replying to someone who was questioning the price increase on the better binned chips with XFR which most likely is a useless feature to overclockers.
I also stated 'looking for a value configuration'
While I'd personally be interested in a R5 1600X or 1500 whenever they actually are released, $260 is not a "budget minded" CPU by any means. Only compared to the $500 R7 1800X maybe. Before AMD Ryzen blew the prices up, QUOTE]
You can get a 6C/12T CPU for $229..............that's beast. You can overclock it on a lower chipset board ie B350 (potentially*)
You've picked the most expensive 6 core to then attack them saying they aren't budget minded? Why ignore the practically identical chip that is $40 cheaper.
An intel 4C/8T goes for $300 right?

If the X SKUs work really well for overclocking themselves, then I am all for it... I look at it this way:
Less time I spend dialing in the system to get a decent overclock = more time for porn and games!
