Interesting that this article has no mention of any Threadripper CPU, let alone 2990X.

Exactly!!!  ;D

I'm curious what it will do at the same speed.

Zen+ (meaning 2nd generation of Zen which has improved IPC compared to 1xxx series) is less than 5% in IPC compared to latest Intel uArch which is Skylake. So a 9900K at 4.35 Ghz all cores will be ~ the same as 2700X. Also, don't forget that AMDs implementation of SMT scales better compared to Intel, so at MT it might be that 4.4-4.5Ghz 9900K equals 2700X at 4.35Ghz. Pretty nice stuff indeed.

Related to pricing, yeah, probably Intel won't sell this CPU under 400$, but the difference between a 320$ 2700X and a 500$ 9900K might not be worth it. If you want MT performance you are better off with Threadripper really.

An Intel Enthusiast grade cpu comfortably beats a AMD mainstream CPU, much amaze, very wow

With the decision to restrict SMT to Core i9, I don't think Intel considers it enthusiast anymore. It is meant for mainstream adoption. Otherwise, why do you think they made H300 chipsets compatible with i9 and i7?

The i9 is supposed to be a monster. With that frequency it can beat Ryzen, I'm curious what it will do at the same speed. Also think about the price difference. Intel will never charge less than 450-500$(€) for this chip.

Thank you AMD for all of this. If it weren't for you, we would still be on 4/8 core i7 with 450$ price.

Hard to deny this fact ;)
