AMD May Offer Some Insights on Upcoming Ryzen 3000 Series at GDC 2019
AMD's Ryzen 3000 series is one of the most hotly anticipated hardware launches in recent times. I'd say that the hype surrounding AMD's processor launches, unlike Intel's, has become vested with an actual enthusiasm that is likely in our nature - to see the underdog come out with innovative products that reverse market expectations. AMD's processor launches have seen hype levels rivaling - and even surpassing, all of this anecdotally, of course - some GPU launches. It makes sense for AMD to embrace every opportunity it gets to build hype around its products - and it seems the company will be doing just so at GDC 2019, which will run from March 18th through March 22nd.
AMD will be hosting a time slot at GDC 2019 in San Francisco. Hosted by Ken Mitchell, the presentation that has been slotted in to GDC's panels is titled ""AMD Ryzen Processor Software Optimization (Presented by AMD)". As the announcement reads, this presentation is meant to "Learn about the Ryzen line up of processors, profiling tools and techniques to understand optimization opportunities, and get a glimpse of the next generation of "Zen 2" x86 core architecture. Gain insight into code optimization opportunities and lessons learned with examples including C/C++, assembly, and hardware performance-monitoring counters." So no, there won't be any architecture deep dives. But there will be some new information - and we all know that speculating and running through the breadcrumb trail is a huge part of the fun.

Zen 2 i think uses a quad pipe design each pipe at 256-bit. This is vastly better than Skylake especialy for SMT again and even adds the possibility of Zen2 using AVX512 in the same way Zen 1 does AVX2.Ryzen is already highly competitive but they need a killing blow to start to dismantle the Intel mindshare
great news. I am buying AMD after all, two years of extreme security concerns involving Intel processors is enough to convince me it is finally time to move on. Ryzen 3700x here I come!
@FordGT90Concept You might enjoy that article as well
Either way I think you will not regret getting a Ryzen 3000 CPU. :)
but eh, we will see.
i'm very excited for zen 2 though, i intend to do x570 mobo, and 32 gigs of ram. probably just doing a cheap used 7950 graphics card though, i'm not impressed with rtx series or anything amd is offering... just play some older games while i wait for the gpu upgrade ^^
Ryzen 5 3600X
24GB of RAM of the fastest ram I can find (for now, eventually 32 though)
X570 Motherboard
I am not going to upgrade my GPU until Navi.
Maybe 16 would be better and wait for the price to drop before adding more - if it's needed?
I will get 3700 to replace the 1700 in my server.
