From the review I read, Ryzen seems to give just about the same or better performance as corresponding Intel CPUs (8 core<>8 core, etc). At about half the cost of the Intel chip.

I've run AMD and Intel chips. I think for audio work they're about the same. If I have to replace my present AMD machine, I'd go for a Ryzen. Gotta get a new motherboard either way and don't have the Intel $$$ in the budget right now.
