Good stuff, personally waiting on Zen+ news my potential next upgrade.

I doubt there will ever be a Vega 11 enabled APU this generation, its one extra CU for yields and possible defects.

Personally I don't care about CPU because DDR jeeps getting more expensive and I can hold on to my 2500k for a little wile. Plus, I need a new GPU...I can't wait for Vega mainstream but that's probably months away.

Zen+ is probably already coming to CES in January...Ryzen prices being slashed by a hefty margin for a while could be interpreted as a hint Zen+ is coming very soon.
Apparently someone from AMD told OC.uk that AMD are already preparing for a launch or something...so PCGH.de turned that into Pinnacle Ridge at CES.

I doubt Zen+ will be much of an improvement since we are talking a tweaked version of the same process. This coming from a Ryzen 1800x owner so no bias. Speaking of decided to go back to stock clocks and play with undervolting. My 1800x can undervolt like crazy, this thing is running so cool now.

with a little more clock speed these things will fly i can only get 3.9ghz out of 1600 but it starts to take stupid amounts of voltage to do so even if the can increase the average clock/overclock by another 300-400 mhz it give them a massive boost

I agree with the general consensus that the Zen+ will most likely be a small speed bump of up to 10%, with roughly the same power consumption.
Should be able to hit the 4-4.2GHz no problem though, will be just costly in Watts to get to 4.3-4.5.
At that speed, and seeing the latest roadmap from Intel, AMD should be sweet for a good year or so.

APU Horror stories incoming:
PLX HELP!
I have bought AM4 APU and paired it with the best AM4 motherboard, and now I can't even connect it to my monitor.
Because the damn motherboard has no video out (DP/HDMI)!!!

I'm pretty sure it will use an updated process, besides the usual tweakings https://www.globalfoundries.com/news-events/press-releases/globalfoundries-introduces-new-12nm-finfet-technology-for-high-performance-applications

Vega 11 is replacement for Polaris , so not high end Vega 56,64 but RX570,580...
And for Zen they probably tweaked process to allow higher clocks hence 12nm nomenclature.
