AMD Ryzen Pinnacle Ridge Processors And 400 Chipset Could Launch in March
Some information on AMD Ryzen Pinnacle Ridge Processors and the new 400 chipsets has surfaced on an Asian website, both are indicated to launch in March already.
So it can now be expected that AMD would release their Ryzen 2000 series / Ryzen 2 or whatever they will be called are launched in March 2018. Also, you already have seen the 400 series chipset mentioned a couple of times here on Guru3D, the interesting news is that with the proc release, a new chipset will be released as well, two actually, the prime models AMD X470 and then a more mainstream B450 series.
The "Pinnacle Ridge" processors will still be AM4 compatible yet optimized Ryzen "Summit Ridge" procs, now gaffed at a 12nm fabrication process. These processors would also work with your X370 chipset based motherboard. History learns us that die-shrinks often lead to better energy efficiency, and let's hope for some higher frequencies as well.
Here is the Asian translation of what Hermitage Akiharabara (pardon the Chinglish).
In addition, "Ryzen 2" that "Pinnacle Ridge" scheduled for early March 2018 at also the debut of the now. Simultaneously, motherboards equipped with "X470" and "B450" will be released from "AMD 400" series which is a new chipset.

For me the biggest obstacle right now for upgrading is the stupid high ddr4 prices. They cost more than the cpu itself.

so they refined the process in one year for zen+? that sure is nice to hear! i hope they ironed out the wattage bump/surge past ~1.3v, as this blip/leakage/watever in the original process power consumption is certainly wats holding back clocks to the 4ghz range

This, 8 years ago 16GB DDR3 1600 where a lot cheaper then 16GB DDR4 3200 today. And I am going to have a 32GiB RAM system when I will change my main desktop, but not today, I am not going to spend more money on RAM then CPU + MB combo, both high end.

Good news. DOWN with intel: let's not purchase any CPUs from them, for the certain period of time. Let's teach bullies a lesson. If we (customers) don't, who else will?
