Was reading around that there "could" be a Zen 3 refresh, Would it be worth getting a 5000 series CPU now or wait a few months considering we're already 4 months into the life cycle ?
 
I would just buy one now. You could be waiting some time otherwise. I don’t see that AMD will be in a particular rush given it doesn’t look like intels 11th gen is going to prove that much of a challenger. I can easily see AMD riding the rest of this year out. Maybe a refresh towards the end of the year, as the final release on AM4. But likely just to be similar to the XT releases before and so pretty much irrelevant jumps in terms of performance.
