Can AMD RIP the Core i9? – Ryzen Threadripper

AMD's finally back in the HEDT space with Threadripper - But can they go toe to toe with Team Blue?
* CORRECTION: There is a table showing the Threadripper 1900X as having a 4-core boost clock of 3.7 GHz despite having a base clock of 3.8 GHz. This is an error, and should be 4.0 GHz. Its price should also be $549. Further details are unknown at this time. Sorry about that.
