If I can get a R5 1600X for $217, is that a good "jump in" price? It seems like a lot of people are going with the R7 1700 (non-X), so want to make sure I'm not missing something.

I'm pretty sure the general consensus is that all of the non-X ones will overclock to the same clock as their X counter part and come with a cooler. Normally the cooler wouldn't be a big deal, but AM4 cooler brackets are some what rare these days. So in short, you're still spending more even money to get less, since all of the motherboards can overclock unlike Intel.

Ryzen needs serious design wins. It's feel-good press material to talk about the "enthusiasts" and "end users" but the real money is when companies buy thousands of them.

I'd probably guess that getting back into the laptop market would maybe be a design win, but I'm guessing we'll have to wait until Ryzen APUs for that.

Here's a fun little video of Gamer Nexus benchmarking the 1090T. I remember when this chip came out, people were always saying that it would be amazing once games and programs were using all of the cores. Somehow, 8 years later, that never really became true.

These motherboard chipset conventions are getting a little ridiculous. Intel has the X299 chipset, so we'll call our competing chipset the X399. That will show them.
