Realistically I reckon they'll still just come short, clock for clock, because Intel always seem to just do that teeny bit better. But considering they're charging, what, 2.5x as much ? £500 for the top end i7! And that pricing is why I'm so keen to get these - Intel really peed me off pushing it so high, it truly disgusted me.
That being said, I need them to be my saviour in the graphics space, because nvidia also has me fuming, charging twice as much for 30% performance improvement over the 1080Ti, just because they're trying to ram a technology down our throats that isn't even fit for at least another 3 gens (at least)
