That would be my guess, I am waiting to see what the generation of Ryzen after the next brings.

*** Official Ryzen Owners Thread ***
- Thread starter Frozennova
- Start date
AMD confirmed in December that Pinnacle Ridge would be released in Q1 2018 and would not be called Zen 2 (which comes out in 2019). Clock speed improvement plus anything nice from a new chipset (e.g. PCIe 3.0 lanes) is pretty much all we'll get. No extra cores.
Unfortunately Q1 2018 has turned into April 2018, hence why I previously mentioned Q1-ish. It was always going to be close.
I expect we'll be able to get our hands on it late April. I'll be putting my 1800X in the MM in March.
Ah yes, just saw some articles posted overnight that say April. Kinda sucks but with RAM prices like they are I'm in no rush anyway!
Price drops on the Ryzen's inbound

Perfect time for a price drop too. In light of recent Intel CPU vulnerabilities.

Its the perfect time for them, tbh the Intel thing i think is just icing on the cake, it probably swayed them even further though to drop the price, but its a channel clear to make way for the refresh, with that being so close i bet a lot of the more savvy will hold off and wait, but i bet a ton of opportunity buyers will jump all over these price cuts, could imagine people who bought lower tier ryzen chips trading in for higher tier stuff as its a cheap upgrade.
Aren't those basically the prices Ryzen has been retailing for the past months though? They seem to have matched MSRP to the discount pricing, which is nice to be fair, seems they want to move the Zen stock before Zen+ releases.
On a different note, I managed to get 3.85Ghz at 1.325v with LLC2 on my R7 1700 (stable at a min of 1.262v with IBT/Linpack), single core speed seems to match a stock 4790K in cinebench and cpu-z now, not bad.

I also run my 1700 around 3.84-85, I do this by leaving the multiplier at 38 and tweak the FSB a little.
What memory speed are you running?
Managed to get 3.75Ghz stable at 1.25v with LLC2, which seems like a pretty good sweet spot, max temps I'm reaching on the D15 with only one fan on it at ~1000rpm is 62C doing linpack. Under regular use it sits <50C and idles <30C, which is really nice since I can just keep all of the fans in my case at fairly low rpm.
The next jump seems to be really steep voltage wise, to get 3.8Ghz I need to bump the voltage to 1.325v LLC1 and 1.325v LLC2 for 3.85Ghz. 3.9Ghz seems to need 1.35v LLC2.
Most power efficient the chip is seems to be around the 3.6Ghz mark, where I only need 1.175v LLC1 to get it fully stable and the chip still sits under 95W TDP, quite impressive.

not bad i managed to squeeze 3.8ghz out my 1600
I am going opposite to most of you by trying to undervolt.
Running a 1600 on stock cooler for the moment as I am unable to mount my Alpenfohn Ben Nevis advanced on the B350 F Strix as the mounting rails seem too far apart.
Team Group 3000MHz non b die is stable at 2934MHz at1.36v. [email protected] with the Proc something or other at either 43 or 48 ohm.
Got 1600 Prime stable at 3.4MHz on 1.025v. Was running 3.6MHz for a while in Prime at 1.1v before crashing. Seems fine so far at 1.125v.
Idles at about 39C-40C at 3.4MHz and about 42C at 3.6MHz which seems a little high. Power draw under load (CPU-Z stress test) is about 56W and 65W respectively with temps peaking at 56C and 57C.
Under Prime 95 max temp test these jump to 60W and 67.75C at 3400MHz and 71.25W and 73.5C at 3600MHz.
Will try to lower voltage on 3600MHz a llittle bit more before working on 3800MHz.

I got the fitting kit from Alpenfohn so I could use my Brocken ECO. However it was more than a pain to fit. The Posts for the cooler bar are just close enough to allow the nuts to screw down on but it was a struggle to get them started. Also there was about 1/4 inch of slack between the back plate and the motherboard before tightening down. However it has better coverage than my 4790K so worth it.
Wrote about the problem in the overclocking and cooling forum. No solution as yet.
