So for the same 170 usd u can get an I3 with 4 cores @3.7Ghz and garbage graphics OR a Ryzen APU with 4c/8t @3.6Ghz and really good (for an iGPU) graphics???
But yeah... they will probably sell well thx to oem deals and brand loyalty.....

A little odd they don't have a 4c/8t model. I think what they should've done was:
i5 8400: 4c/8t
i5 8500K: 4c/8t, overclockable
i5 8600: 6c/6t
i5 8600K: 6c/6t, overclockable
I also don't really understand the point of the Celerons. They'd be fine for IoT, embedded devices, POS machines, tablets, and laptops, but who is going to buy them for a desktop PC? Miners would likely opt for cheaper last-gen parts, or AMD.

Seeing lower end 6 cores is wonderful news. Hopefully this is the new trend going forward. I would like to take this time to thank AMD for finally competing to force Intel to get off its ass. With that said if Intel did not milk it's products AMD likely would not have stood a chance if Intel already had Ice Lake out when Zen landed in stores. I guess a small thanks should be sent to Intel for being greedy as they opened the door to much needed competition.

Without Bulldozer, would we now have Zen?? sure Bulldozer suffered many disadvantages... but it was the beginning of bringing more cores. It was the guinea pig of sorts.
This line up looks a lot like AMD's. I agree that the Celerons make little sense for desktop at this point.

Too many SKUs overall IMHO.
I would love to see a graph with all SKUs, perfs and prices. Potential overlaps.
