AMD Ryzen 2700X 50th Anniversary Edition (Updated)
AMD is preparing for the festivities of their celebration 50th anniversary beginning with a Ryzen 2700x 50th-anniversary edition to be released on May 1st , 2019.
American online retailer ShopBLT listed it at USD $340.95 but quickly removed it with the message "out of stock." We're not sure what the SKU will entail, the normal 12 nm "Pinnacle Ridge" silicon has 8-cores/16-threads at 3.70 GHz clock-speed and a 4.30 GHz maximum Precision Boost, XFR, L2 cache of 512 KB per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. You can read our review here. It seems AMD is about to get the product going on May 1st, 2019 following by the launch of AMD Ryzen 3xxx CPUs on June.
Update April 22nd
The special edition has again been spotted under product code YD270XBGAFA50. the specifications seem to be similar to that of the regular model, so it is unknown in what area it is different (if at all) from the regular Ryzen 7 2700X. Eight cores / 16 threads run at a base speed of 3.7 GHz, with a Precision Boost to 4.3 GHz. The SKU also will get the same Wraith Prism cooler with RGB lighting. The Ryzen 2700X 50th Anniversary Edition is expected to be available on April 30, one day before the anniversary and seems to be a few tenners more expensive opposed to the regular SKU.

Would make zero sense. And 7nm is still not even close, yields are too bad. I wouldn't be surprised if Q4 begins before we see 3000 desktop series at 7nm DUV (which sucks compared to EUV). Maybe with a big pricetag because of yields.
Talk is cheap. And this is all AMD is doing.
WRONG! They've been selling (and keeping stock) of the Radeon 7 for a couple months now. Its a HUGE (compared to Ryzen ) 7nm die. To be able to do that, yields have to be very, very good. Manufacturing a small Ryzen die for R3000 is very easy compared to doing one for Vega 20.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about lol
Vega 20 was shrunk for the Radeon Instinct MI50 and MI60. Radeon VII is a byproduct of that. If AMD had never planned the MI50 and MI60, they would not create one GPU with a brand new node technology, you can't make your money that way.
In fact the fact we have the Radeon VII implies they couldn't get their money back with the MI50 and MI60 as well.
And there have been multiple times the Radeon VII has not been in stock, newegg for instance pulled the whole page for the Radeon VII for awhile due to not having a single one in stock, so to state that yields have to be "very very good" on a GPU that is too expensive in the first place, not many people are buying, yet runs out of stock, doesn't make sense.

I don't really remember AMD mocking Intel over the 8086k. I do remember them offering a Threadripper 1950X in exchange for people who won that sweepstakes event, as a way to steal Intel's thunder, but that's about as far as they went.
But, I do see your point. It will be interesting if Intel retaliates in a similar fashion.
What will Intel retaliate with?...

Fair point - after all, their stock is limited so it's not like they can do a giveaway.

7nm Zen+ would be a complete waste of money and R&D unless they intend to delay Zen 2.
No point doing the R&D required for a node shrink for a product that will be extremely limited, they'd never make their money back.
