Interesting for developers is the improvement in compiling Chrome, and also the big hit from the Meltdown/Spectre patches on Intel on the same benchmark.
I held off upgrading my personal desktop last year (and built Ryzen 1700 for work) then meltdown/spectre hit and I decided to wait for the 2700X, I'm glad I did more performance at less money and without the hit that Intel took, I'll likely build an R2700X in a month or two when any teething troubles have had time to hit the wire.
