A bit unusual from AMD, but ZEN3 and RDNA2 based technologies will be released late 2020, AMD confirmed this on twitter. Earlier on a roadmap confirmed that the design phase of Zen 3 is complete and that will be a "7 nm+" process refresh.

Of course, the info is nothing that new as the schedule has been talked about for a long time. AMD will release video cards based on RDNA2 at the end of this year, these are aimed at 4k gaming and have hardware support for raytracing. A similar roadmap was shown for the Radeon branch from 2017 to 2021, but not 2022. The 7-nanometer rdna designs are now being shipped, and a new RDNA2 design based on a 7nm+ process would be in its design phase. On the processor side, a roadmap slide shows ZEN3 at 7nm (optimized) and ZEN4, which will be based on a 5nm fabrication node.

The first processors with Zen 3 cores will be released at the end of this year. They are fabbed on an improved version of TSMC's 7nm process.

Makes sense for it to be on AM4. Zen4 will be DDR5 and it finally gonna be a new socket.

I would take a 4850X if they make a thin binned 8-core like a 9900KS type product. Moving to an 8-core CCX(if the rumors are true) something like that should be a beast. Would be ideal for my use.
