Well thats great for 1 core (a bit suspicious that most leaks show single thread performance no?)

AMD already took the crown for multithreaded performance, it's gaming and the sheer power of 1 core (a mix of clockspeed & IPC) that they were still struggling with. These are basically sneak peaks saying AMD now finally beats Intel on all fronts. Though for pure gaming, this isn't much of an upgrade for 9900K or 10900K users, but it's a full on no brainer now for people buying a new CPU now. Unless... the 5000 series has a lot of OC headroom :x
