I really hope AMD's new processors are good. Intel needs some competition. However, I've read that their flagship will be an 8 core at 3.4 GHz so once again multithreading will be off the charts but single core will suck.
This caught my eye:
This is currently only available on Intel's E processors and only in the $500+ range like the I7 5850 or 6900. If AMD can make a processor supporting 2 full 16X lanes for less than $400, they may have a winner on their hands.AMD X370 Chipset (High-End) - So the most high-end chipset will be the X370 with that X for Extreme. This chipset will support Multi-GPU rendering (Crossfire and SLI) with two full x16 PCI Express slots (Gen 3.0). The chipset will support overclocking. Basically this is the chipset series you and yours truly will be after once Zen releases and yes you can expect a dandy overclocking software suite.
