$100 faster? What do you mean????????

Probably, "Is it worth the extra $100.00?"

Yeah, I misread it

We can pretty much just look at the 1800x overclocked to see what an overclocked R5 chip will probably be like in gaming.  This is because it's the same architecture and probably will not clock much higher than the R7 chips.  This means that, even though I still recommend waiting for reviews, we can pretty much say right now that the Ryzen 5s will outperform the i5s in pretty much everything.

 

yeah, i saw linus do this. I just want to wait for actual processor performance to buy

Yeah, that's a good idea, I'm just saying that we pretty much know that in pretty much all but the most highly threaded games, the R5 and R7 series will perform nearly identically.  This is because past about 4.1 GHz, voltage starts to get a bit ridiculous to keep a stable Ryzen system (https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/ryzen-strictly-technical.2500572/).

i already have a cryorig h7 that will be compatible with either

You will need an AM4 bracket if you want to use it with Ryzen.
