Probably 1900X. The 1900X probably won't be as good for gaming, but it will likely be comparable to an 8700k. For production value it will definitely smash the 8700k, as that was Threadripper's target audience.
It also depends on the price of the 8700k as well, but if they're even remotely close in price the 1900X will probably be better (more PCI-E lanes, more cores, etc)

I would agree. If you were strictly gaming likely the i7 8700k would be best (a guess since not out yet and not benched in games but a safe guess IMHO). But the second you take well threaded loads into the equation the Ryzen architecture shines. Plus even if you do game, unless your gaming at greater then 120hz...the difference will be mute. Ryzen is solid up to 120hz. Its 120-144hz where it begins to flounder against Intel solutions. So if your gaming at 60/75/90/100/120hz you won't see the difference anyways.

Well, the 8700k is not really the comparison for 1900x. The more logical comparison is 7820x.
Both are workstation/production oriented processors with quad channel and more bus support. But the 7820x comes at a slightly higher cost with less power draw.
For data science, you need to look at the specific applications that you might be using and then look at some benches for best results.

Intel launched the Skylake X range to compete with Threadripper. The Coffee Lake is more a competition for Ryzen and Ryzen 2.
All these platforms have been designed keeping different workloads in mind. Although you do always get some cross platform workload across any platform, specific intent is confined to platform architecture and its optimization.

It is "moot" not mute. Mute means you are deaf. Moot means made abstract or purely academic, in other words not worth debating

Also, no Zen architecture doesn't shine in multi-threaded applications. It shines in GPU like workloads. It's relative anyway, since at the same core count, Intel smashes except in decompression, AES, and heavy throughput reliant applications. Also, Ryzen cannot hold >100 FPS in all games, so your argument of it being fine in 120Hz is moot.

This is an old thread. There isn't a CPU on the planet that can hold 100 fps in every game out there so then is it moot to say that an i7 8700K is fine for 120hz? It is fine for 120hz in most games but not all by any means. Also Ryzen is pretty close to the Intel processors in most games. It's not as good but the intel processors aren't so much better that it's going to be a totally different experience.
