AMD Confirms Launch of Next-gen Ryzen, EPYC and Navi for Q3
During AMD's annual shareholder meeting today, AMD president and CEO Dr. Lisa Su confirmed the launch of next-generation AMD Ryzen, EPYC CPUs and Navi GPUs for the third quarter of this year. The expected products are going to be manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process and will be using new and improved architectures.
Ryzen 3000 series CPUs are rumored to have up to as much as 16 cores in Ryzen 9 SKUs, 12 cores in Ryzen 7 SKUs and 8 cores in Ryzen 5 SKUs. EPYC server CPUs will be available in models up to 64 cores. All of the new CPUs will be using AMD "Zen 2" architecture that will offer better IPC performance and, as rumors suggest for consumer models, are OC beasts. Navi GPUs are the new 7 nm GPUs that are expected to be very competitive both price and performance wise to NVIDIA's Turing series, hopefully integrating new technologies such as dedicated Ray Tracing cores for higher frame rates in Ray Tracing enabled games. No next generation ThreadRipper launch date was mentioned, so we don't yet know when and if that will that land.

Santa will be coming early for me this year, ryzen 5 and a navi should both be good upgrades :rockout:
Higher stock clocks, yes.
OC beast, well that's something different. The days of of a 1 GHz overclock or more on air are gone.
Really who cares....
So lest say 5.65Ghz 9900K equivalent - at least on CB R15 kind of workloads.
A better and cheaper processor await you for a wee bit of time.Apparently, with XFR AND PB, normal OC are not needed because the CPU will do it for you. So, it could still be true and the purest sense.
mmos are a lot more exciting at launch, i don't want to miss out on the new expansion "energy"
If you buy a Ryzen you'll be able to upgrade to upcoming CPU's.
I just saw your specs, you have a 9700K? If so, why upgrade?
You should be able to have a Zen 2 CPU running on a X370, X470, B350 or B450 board (perhaps even A320): whether or not all Zen 2 CPUs will run on gen 1 boards remains to be seen (referring to those with higher core counts), most likely due to VRMs.
