What a long-winded way of saying that Intel are still the performance kings, and likely always will be. Octa-core Coffee Lakes soon too. Tick tock.

And you're going to pay 100 more dollars for the same performance like a braindead faggot kike shill lul

An eight core Ryzen can barely manage better multi-thread performance than a six core Coffee Lake, even in synthetic benchmarks designed to show off its strengths. It's not even going to be a contest when eight core Coffee Lake arrives in the next few months.

intel should just completely abandon all security considerations and just make an unrestrained, fast processor.

Yep, but Intel's octacore is double the die size of a Ryzen chip, and costs don't scale linearly with area. They'll price it around $500. Means all AMD's gotta do is cut the 12 core Threadripper 2 price down to match and completely kill it in threaded loads while single thread remains the same as now.
The octacore is a stopgap product for a year. The only advantage Intel has is raw clock speed. AMD wins on yield, die size, and power use. IPC is near equal. And then Zen 3 on an IBM tech process made to switch nominally at 5ghz comes out in Q2 2019, Intels only advantage will be moot.
