I was going to upgrade to a 2700x but I've decided to stay with my 3930k CPU until Ryzen 3*** series is out. Then it'll be DDR4, MOBO and CPU upgrade. Finally get that itch of Intel/Nvidia out of my system for good

No it wouldn't. I've got 32GB of DDr4 witting here waiting for my R73000 rig!

If its 10% uplift over zen+ roughly and 4.5 out the box all core with 4.6-4.7 via oc I'll be going 3700x/3800x. Hopefully by then, fast ddr4 should be a little cheaper.

Going with a 6, not because it doesnt look like it will be impressive but because I already have a 2700X and dont need anymore performance really.

I've had my 32GB kit since i had my 5820k in March 2015, it's a quad channel kit so bit awkward to go to mainstream unless i sell it and get another kit. Might wait til DDR5 myself so i can upgrade everything at the same time.
DDR5 pricing surely won't be worse than DDR4 has been anyway

Nothing "awkward" about it at all. I have run 2 dual channel kits in my CH6 since launch, the first were Hynix and the current is B-die. Both worked and work fine, obviously though the B-die is faster.

Having a seperate IO chip is what got me dreaming about possible support for both DDR4 and 5, perhaps even quad channel. Yeah it's a nice dream, but what an epic move if they want to keep Intel under pressure.
Im getting very excited now, cant wait
I think we will, you can tell the difference between X470 vs X370, I don't think motherboard manufacturers thought AM4 was going to be so big and popular which is why they skimped a bit on the 1st edition boards, you can see the improvements on the 2nd edition boards, especially in the VRM area.
Id love to see an AM4 version of the MSI Z390 Godlike......id snap one of those up.
I'm hoping you're right, one of those a 3800X with decent clocks and 16GB of fast RAM would last me years. Planning to cool with an EK Phoenix. I think we're looking at May 2019 before the 3000 series are available?
No lowering of expectations here, though I am still using a 3770k. Not hard to imagine the intensity of my upgrade itchIt's funny to see expectations being lowered and lowered... keep going, we'll get to 5% IPC improvement at 4.2 Ghz
