I'm very happy with my 3800X, but still plan on getting the top next-gen 4000 part right about the time 5000 gets released. (and prices drop)

Hardware Unboxed / Techspot did an article on Zen 3, they think there will be a big latency reduction, but is it maybe up to 8 cores max? With the IPC being 10+% and latency reduction i guess we might see up to 20% or so FPS gains in games, meaning parity or better than Intel in the games Intel are currently ahead in.
I will probably go from my 3700x to a new chip if they are as rumoured. DDR5 might not even come next year, could be 2022 but we'll see. I will likely skip the next lot of chips after these and see what Intel come out with in 2022.
https://www.techspot.com/news/83347-zen-3-rumored-flaunting-monumental-ipc-gains-early.html plenty of info hereA max of 8 cores per CCX rather than a max of 4?
Having a unified octa-core CCD is very powerful. In our 4 GHz comparison, we found best-matched threads in the 9900K to have 46.5 ns of communication latency and the worst to have 52.6 ns. The 3700X, with two CCXs, had a best result of 30.2 ns and a worst result of 84.6 ns. That means that in applications with minimal inter-thread communication like Cinebench, Zen 2 can beat Intel, but in communication heavy applications like games, Intel has the advantage.
The rumored Zen 3 octa-core CCD design flips that on its head and could take away Intel’s latency advantage in games. Testing has shown that Zen 3 apparently has "significantly enhanced" latency across the chip. I doubt many Milan server CPUs have been tested with games, but when consumer Zen 3 does arrive, the IPC increase in games could be more than what we're hearing about currently.

Within 24hrs you've gone from maybe holding off til 6000, to upgrading to the 4950.
Lol
^^ if that's all true, Zen 3 is going to have a big gaming performance boost.
I may have to swap my 3950x for. 4950x
So what we're looking at from Zen 2 to Zen 3:
* 15% IPC gain
* 100 to 200mhz average clock speed gain
* Inter core latency reduced by 20ns
Something like a 4800x is would be beating a overclocked 9900K by quite the margin in games at 1080p
Now we can understand even more by mobo makers are ****** off about the z490 delay. They need to start selling these ASAP to move stock because moving them after Zen 3 I'll be a whole lot harder
When are 4XXX series due ?
Q4 '20
The 4000 APUs announced at CES, or other ones?Is there any new APU's this year?
Cheers dude, feels like I only just got my 3700X!
Is there any new APU's this year?
Would love a 6/8 core APU with graphics capable at least GT 1030 level. Please take note AMD xD
