very unlikely.
The 7700K has a 30%ish single core clock advantage over the R7 1700, but only manages to get 33% higher score with single core on Cinebench R15.
i7 8700K totals 25.2GHz at stock
R7 1700 totals 28.8GHz at stock
Also, the R7's do scale well in most MT applications.
Anyways, If Intel somehow manages to get that a 15% IPC increment then some Core I7 7800X and 7820X owners would be
very, very upset.
