QOTW: Which AMD Ryzen CPU has caught your eye?

We say it quite often, but this time we really do mean it - this is an interesting time to be a PC enthusiast. According to the rumour mill, AMD will unleash its next-generation Ryzen CPUs in just a couple of weeks' time. And if you've been following the hype that's slowly but surely building, you may be inclined to believe that the new range will pose a genuine challenge to Intel's dominant Core processor.

There's a battle waiting to be fought, but before we see the reviews and the various benchmarks, let's turn our attention to Ryzen buying decisions with a bit of good ol' conjecture. Given the myriad of leaks that have occurred in recent months, and going by the rather large assumption that they've all been completely accurate, we can start to visualise how the Ryzen product range will take shape. Here it is in table form:

A lot to take in, but plenty of juicy details, too. What's XFR, you ask? The leaks peg it as "Extended Frequency Range," allowing the CPU to hit higher speeds with certain approved coolers. TDPs are generally in line with the Intel competition, Ryzen 3, 5 and 7 are natural alternatives to Intel's Core i3, i5 and i7, while pricing covers an entire spectrum from entry-level to high-end. Plus they're all said to be unlocked, too.

But given what you already know, which of the bunch is likely to be the stand-out choice for you? Personally, I'm thinking the Ryzen 5 1400X looks an interesting choice. Four cores, eight threads, 3.9GHz+ and a 65W TDP for under $200 - what's not to like? But we all have our preferences, so let's ask: which purported AMD Ryzen CPU, if any, has caught your eye?
