Ryzen R5 1600 the best all around CPU in years?

So from everything I read the R5 1600 is one of the best value CPUs in nearly a decade. Offering I5 levels of gaming and I7 levels of multi tasking for only $219 dollars(USD). I honestly cant remember the last time a CPU offered so much for a good price like this.  Do you think Intel will be forced to release the rumored six core I5? 

CPU: Ryzen R7 1800x (4.0GHz) | AIO: Master Liquid Pro 240 | MOBO:  MSI X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM

 

 RAM:  Gskill TridentZ RGB 3200(16gb) | GPU: Evga FTW ACX  3.0 GTX 1080(2x)

                                                             

                             SSD: Samsung Evo 250gb | HSSD: Seagate 2TB | Case: InWin 303 Black | PSU: Evga 210 1000w

I don't think they will but what they can do is to make L3, L2 cache a bit bigger and allow 2 core to be hyperthreaded (I hope that comes in future) and Ryzen is a serious player now and I personally love it for virtualization (I have shitty i5 6th gen and VM server :()

And it will become better than i5 ones developers start adopting it more and push games towards multiple cores. And wtf was Intel's pricing on i9 LOL do they not know how much ryzen costs? That's why I'm looking to upgrade to it.

Yeah, I have the 1800x for workstation work and gaming. I do alot of contract work for companies building out new VM environments and new virtual architectures. Its incredible for what I am getting out of this. Well worth the $500. Heck the 1800x is on sale for $459 right now also!

That will be great if it happens. I feel like my 1800x has so much untapped potential left for gaming.

Because it does. It'll probably take a while tho, but you can never tell and they could surprise us...

Totally agree, I would give it a CPU of the year, or even CPU of the half decade award lol

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
