I still don't have it yet!
It will be built to order during January. Definitely will be a Ryzen. Soundcard

I wonder how much impact the KAISER patches to mitigate Meltdown will
have on Intel CPU's in a Linux audio context. If those patches have a
significant impact I'd surely go for AMD. And performance impact aside,
the way Intel tries to find its way out of this mess doesn't really
deserve a prize....
