The new AMD Ryzen CPU's and audio processing

The specs look good with the new multi-core AMD Ryzens. Looks like Sonar would run well on a new reasonably-prized AMD system.
 
Any one on the know?

    We only work with Intel CPUs. This is a bit more expensive - but we have many bad experiences with AMD (performance).
     

    We digitize tapes, vinyl, dat, md ... in broadcast and studio quality for publishers, public institutions and individuals.
    4 x Intel Quad-CPU, 4GHz Sonar Platinum (Windows 10 - 64Bit) and 14 computers for recording tapes, vinyl ...

    I've used plenty of different AMD processors with Sonar and have had awesome results.
    I switched to Intel last June and have been very happy but there is some good info on the threads that Dan linked.

    I imagine from available data that Ryzen could rise to the occasion. Jim had a good analysis of performance which seems to point to Intel being the advantage for audio. Probably not going to be noticed by the average user either way. Ryzen is a huge improvement over past designs.
     
    If I were in the market for a dedicated DAW computer I would still use Intel based system. Mainly because blue is tried and true. I'll spend a few more quid for assurance until I know more.
