Pretty sure I'd keep the 8086k, I really have no interest in threadripper as my main focus is gaming and web browsing. The 8086k <b>or my 8700k</b> is better for gaming by a large margin and I don't do anything crazy for the other things I use my PC for. Though I can see how it may be worth while for anyone who does things the threadripper actually beats the 8086k at. Just seems like a weird promotion.
