AMD to release 3rd Gen Threadripper processors this year already
There's no slowing down AMD isn't there? AMD will release their third generation Threadripper processors this year already. A presentation slide from an investors briefing confirms that info to become a true fact. Obviously, there are no details about the CPUs series just yet.
The slide that shows AMD mentioning third Threadripper was spotted by Tom's Hardware. We all know Ryzen 3000 is due out for a release this year, 7nm, chiplet design and likely high clock frequencies on ZEN2 that go along with it. Ryzen series 3000 procs are expected to be released halfway this year.
Threadripper CPUs originally have been released just two years ago, and shook up and reshaped the market for Intel alright, that was Summer 2017 folks. The 2nd gen based in 12nm fabrication was released exactly a year later so we expect AMD to follow that timeframe, August 2019? The roadmap does mention it is subject to changes.

Its good we get great CPU´s from AMD and hopefully good priced but current GPU´s are not kind of hardware i want to pair with it.

"strike now when Intel doesn't have an answer.
Intel can quickly catch up with their massive R&D and AMD knows that."
keep dreaming... not if have the fundamentally wrong archiecture for the current playing field. That takes many years - irrespective of budget, & same goes for serious GPUs.
Intel should have adopted MCM ages ago - even their engineers said so, but they pretty much said openly that desktop was dying and they had sexier markets to chase - so they just used their long amortised monolithic architecture as a gravy train, and got sucker punched by Zen MCM.
As we see, the 8700k pretty much maxed out the architecture at 6c/12T - its successors have been a yawn which add downsides in equal measure with upsides - anything ot get max ipc on a few cores - to yield a good sound bite for their corner case advantage over MCM.
MCM give plenty of cores, but has inherent lag, & effect on IPC. For anything threaded, intel get shredded.

...All that said, AMD is still "catching up" even with Zen2, the only thing AMD has going for them is throwing cores at people, which at least to me is getting old beyond a certain count in mainstream/enthusiast.
I'd suggest that with the IPC and additional architectural changes for Zen2 that have been well described, and for some time, the 'old' 'throwing more cores' is almost certainly not the only positive change we'll see.
Intel, of course, did have an IPC advantage for some time - and an advantage that was eagerly waved time and time again. Providing sources are correct (we all hope), it seems that this advantage will, at the very least and finally, be nullified.

Speak for yourself. I could always use more cores - I'm 100% maxed out!

Lol yeah - they made personnel changes that will yield improvements a year or so from now but in the meantime their massive clout & entrenchment in the industry gives them so much time to maneuver. It doesn't help that AMD is having a hell of at time getting these products into OEM channels.
We'll probably find out that Intel is just paying companies to avoid AMD again. The last time it cost them ~1.3B fine for 90% marketshare. Basically a bargain deal even if the fine was 5x as much.
