While Ryzen isn't much interest to me in a desktop CPU atm, I'm definitely attracted to the idea of a cheap, ECC-capable 6-8 core CPU in my NAS box. My existing 26-drive NAS uses a quad-core E3 Xeon only because an E5 would have cost ridiculous amounts. Ryzen is presenting an incredibly good perf per pound/dollar proposition for 8-core ECC systems. A R7 1700 doubles the core count of my E3-1230v3 while matching the clockspeed and reducing the power consumption all for barely 10% higher cost.
