I think it is too early for the normal user (like me) to go for ryzen. All those Benches will have to be redone once windows can handle the amd cpus better. I want to upgrade from my FX6300 and I got a good deal for a used i7 6700K so I will go for that. But if you are a streamer and have TS/Skype and other stuff (camera capture etc) running and BF1 on a full server and Windows is fully patched for Ryzen my guess is that the Ryzen system will provide you with a smoother gameplay/workflow (not talking highest FPS here). I guess it really depends on what you need and what you are willing to invest. So no need to bash either company.
