... converse opinion, running a dev shop you want off the shelf "plug it in and go" options for developer machines. If we see significant advantages in general workflow (compiling, VM's, unit testing etc) with Ryzen at a compelling price point you can be sure we'll spec all new workstations with Ryzens once the OEM's get a solid "out of the box" solution.

We recently built an 8 core machine for a project for "how far could we push some multi-threaded" workload. The "out of the box" workstation's with 8 cores, at least in NZ, were staggeringly expensive. We managed to knock about 1/3rd to 1/2 off the price by a build our own solution but that's not workable for general purpose machines.

Early indicators for certain types of workflow, Ryzen is a blazingly fast platform at a very attractive price point.
