Holy cow. Definitely feel like I dodged a bullet by building an AMD/Ryzen system this time around - which had it's own set of issues (but seem to be more or less ironed out now).

This is not a fair comment: Ryzen had a crash that can be triggered by compiling with GCC and a memory compatibility issue where it cannot run them at their nominal speed. Ryzen is a really young architecture, it already had like 6 stable patches of microcode and you can expect way more.
Is there any published errata for Ryzen or other family 17h CPUs?
Still seems to be doing better than "turn off half of your processor, sorry no fix just buy a new one".
Hyperthreads are just that - threads. It won't be 50 % slower with HT disabled.

Actually TFA mentions there's already a fix.

I don't think Ryzen has had any more or less bugs than the recent Intel generation. They are at least on the same order of magnitude.
Ryzen is great, I might buy one next, but it is not to "doge bullets".
doge? :D
