Definitely wouldn't mind 6C/12T so long as single core performance is good.
If their 6 cores don't atleast boost to 4.2 by default i'll be pretty disappointed. I like to think AMD would be crazy enough to challenge the 7700K with a 6 core Ryzen at same speeds. Please AMD, you can do it! Intel seriously needs a kick in the butt.

Raw clock speed isn't as important as you think it is. A "slower" processor on one architecture can utterly outperform a "faster" processor of another architecture.
E.g. take a 3Ghz Gen 1 i5 and a 2Ghz Skylake i5 and see which performs better, or a 4Ghz FX chip vs a 3Ghz Skylake chip.
Whether or not it goes to 4.2Ghz is pretty meaningless without a frame of reference for how it actually performs.

Sure. I'm just saying it needs to match or exceed the 7700Ks performance on the 4 cores alone, but additionally bumping it up to a 6 core with all the extra juice that would bring. But i'm probably asking for a bit too much. Their own damn fault for hyping up Ryzen though.
