@VirtualLarry , I don't know about trouble, but the 1300X will have to be overclocked to beat the identically(?) priced i3-8100, so at stock it might not look too good for Ryzen. That's my take anyway, what's yours?
I was more thinking in terms of a price/performance comparison with the Ryzen 3 1200, as I mentioned a comparison in my thread. It's currently $109.99, almost certain to get a price cut soon to $99.99, which generally means a street price under $90. (Currently, there have been deals on ebay for $102-103.)
It overclocks with stock cooler on a B350 or X370 motherboard, to 3.80Ghz easily, and sometimes, to 3.90Ghz or higher. But 3.8 should be close to a lock.
At that speed, I'm just guessing, but I think that it would compete favorably with a Kaby Lake i5-7400 or i5-7500, but possibly not for 1080P gaming. Productivity, yes. (Whether one should overclock an office machine is an entire other argument entirely, and I'm not suggesting that someone do that. But just for performance benchmarks' sake, let's OC the 1200 to 3.80Ghz.)
And $197 for the i3-8350K? Are they kidding? The Ryzen 5 1600 is only $215, and it adds two more real cores, and SMT. As far as I understand thus far, the i3-8350K doesn't have HT enabled. That said, I have no doubts that the i3-8350K will be able to OCed to at least 4.70Ghz, and probably a good number of them, higher (4.9Ghz or 5.0Ghz). So, in that sense, it would probably be stronger than the R5 1600 in 1080P gaming due to higher ST speeds, at least for games other than BF1 MP and WD2... those games will choke on only a 4C/4T CPU regardless.
