I'm personally happy with my current CPU so I'm not currently looking to switch to AMD, but I'm planning a build for my dad with an i3 6100, and I'm very curious on what to expect from Ryzen in this price range / performance range?
At the moment AMD seem to only talk about their 3 flagship chips, but I don't see much on pricing for i3 6100 equivalents, or the suggested performance for the same price as an i3 6100.
When should you expect them to unveil the rest of the the Ryzen CPUs?

We cant say for sure because no R3 exists to benchmark.

The bottem end R3 1100 will be a true quad core for $129, how this will benchmark to a i3-6100 or when it is released is anyone's guess at this point.

I would go with either a pentium 4560 or 4620. The 4620 has the same clock and integrated graphics vs the i3-6100 for $10 less and the 4560 is .2ghz slower and lesser graphics but $35 less. Either of these would require a B250 motherboard (or H210 when they release). The good thing about the newer kabylake pentiums over the 6100 is that they out-of-the-box support 2400mhz ram vs 2133.

I think I heard somewhere that the rest of the Ryzen parts are coming in between May and July. The slowest Ryzen parts are likely to be similarly priced to i3s, with the same performance as i5s (such as i5-6600).

Take this with a grain of salt. I very likely believe that 6 core Ryzen exists but 4 cores? Very little evidence to say yes or no. But 4 cores will definitely be there in Raven Ridge APUs.
