Intel Processor Refresh in Spring - 100 MHz bumps
Earlier this week you've already read the funny news about a KFC edition, in the upcoming weeks more processors will be added into the lineup from Intel, they, however, all are refreshes mostly 100 MHz increase on the frequency. In the desktop segment, You've already seen the Intel Core i5-9400 / 9400F.
In retail you can already spot most of the new SKUs listed, for the desktop, processors in the Coffee Lake Refresh will be available as the Core i-9000 processors.
Similar to the Core i5-9400, most models will be a higher-clocked Coffee Lake, typically 100 MHz more clock. The naming is a little weirder though. If you look at the below overview the Celeron sticks to two cores and two threads, Pentium procs offers at least four of them (two cores + two threads) now going to 4 GHz (Pentium Gold 5260). This is an entry-level Pentium Gold G5260 model is already present in some European stores along with a prominent availability date on March 4th. It is not known which architecture the Pentium Gold G5260 is based on, but according to a current Intel roadmap, this should be Coffee Lake-R. With the Pentium Gold G5260, six additional models are planned: Pentium Gold G5420, Pentium Gold G5420T, Pentium Gold G5600T, Celeron G4950, Celeron G4930 and Celeron G4930T. Pentium models should come in combination with two processor cores and a total of four threads, while two processor cores and two triads are expected in Celeron.
It is expected that Intel will bring the entire range of new models to market in April. Some of the KF versions can already be found.

They are not worried at all. In gaming AMD is gonna lose even from sub 200€ intel's cpu.
Intel and Nvidia are the only option for pure gaming and legit enthusiasts. That ain't gonna change any time soon. This is quite depressing.
Times change man and we will be part of it, just wait

As an enthusiast myself with mid range rig, I follow the news. All benchmarks made with AMD systems are the lowest rankings. Even with Ryzen and/or RX gpus. Even if times changed, they need more work. Improvements are there, but not enough. Not enough to dethrone blue or green dictators.

From what has been shown or leaked so far, better clocks and higher IPC then Zen 1, not Intel.
The only real tool in AMDs toolbox seems to be throwing cores at the problem. Personally, I don't like that strategy anymore. I don't need 16 cores in a consumer desktop CPU. I rather have more ST power.
