Not a CPU expert here, but isn't this a comparison of AMD next gen to Intel current gen? Won't Intel have a new CPU out, too, when the Ryzen is actually released?

These release in less than two weeks. Intel's "current" gen released less than a month ago.

Seems pretty fair to me.

Ryzen becomes current gen in 11 days (March 2nd release.)

Intel would need to update their "current gen" (Skylake, Kaby Lake) CPUs with 8-core models to be competitive but for some reason Skylake and Kaby Lake have been stuck with a max of 4 cores... which is why these benchmarks are compared to an 8 core Broadwell.

The current roadmap suggest Intel will get YET another 14nm tweaks called Coffeelake on desktop, which is basically the same arch as Skylake. And Next year it will be Cannonlake, which is 10nm of Skylake.

Intel has been pretty much milking the Desktop Market for as long as they could.

Ryzen is not "next gen" anymore. It will be released in less than two weeks. Not enough time for Intel to come up with anything groundbreaking.

Not really. All Intel has are Ticks. Incremental upgrades for the next few years at least.

Intel's new CPUs tend to be 5% faster at the same price so Ryzen should be competitive with Skylake-X.
