You can take this with a grain of salt but seems like the most believable test data to date about the AMD Zen CPU now called Ryzen. The Core i7 6900K is an 8 core 1,100 dollar chip. The Core i7 6900K seems to be the top end of the enthusiasts line of Intel chips and many complained about the very high price. That being said a constant rumor that AMD plans on pricing this chip very competitively with quad to octa-core chips. The rumored price of the low end could put much pressure on Intel.
The bottom end is said to come in at around 160 dollars and have comparable performance to the 350 Intel i7 quad core. The top end could be more problematic because no official word yet but rumors run anywhere from 500 to 800 dollars most agree that 650 seems the most common leaked number. If it comes in under 600 dollars it will crush the market for the top end Intel line because the price performance benefit is considerable. few other points not talked about its power requirement is 95 Watts VS 100 Watts for the Core I7 6900K.
The price difference may be plenty enough to sway people from dropping 1,100 dollars to get only a slightly better performance while many numbers tie the much more expensive Intel chip. Right after the announcement Intel announced they are upgrading the core line with a 10 core vs of the chip. Also AMD has hinted they are developing SOC's based on 2 core and 4 core Ryzen chips featuring their 460 to 480 level GPU.
Sorry it is not in english but the article covering it is in english about the specific points.
