Paper launch. Anything out of reach for 99% of people is what I call paper launch. Probably costs € 759 or something.

If only Ryzen CPUs/APUs could use this. The improvements would be insane.

Meanwhile 16Gb DDR4 2166 costs 200€...

The most interest I have of this memory is real-world benchmarks, particularly with a Ryzen 2 APU, which I'm sure will have an insatiable appetite for bandwidth. But even if I were given the money to buy it, I wouldn't.
Yeah with hardware like that, I don't see a reason to upgrade.
I think that depends on what your definition of "better" is. AMD invested way too much into Vega, so for the next several years we're going to have hardware derived from it. I would be a bit surprised if the next-gen discrete GPUs aren't improved, but I personally don't expect something to outperform Volta, if that's what you were hoping.

I come from a i7 920 @3.7 with 16gb @1066 Ram and now i own a 8700K @4.7 with 32gb @3200 (i re-used my 850 evo SSD and GTX1070 for now)
The only noticable "real" differences is in some benchmarks and encoding obviously, some shorter loading times for certain games and faster system boot time...
Also in a few games i notice a few more FPS but nothing stellar @1440p
So in short the advice to pick up a i7 2600k used or possibly new would also be my advice if you don't want to spend a lot for a performance boost...

Hm, still looks somewhat ok to me, good 3200MHz 2x8GB from ~180€..

Ok I've seen them ~130€ at one point, or at first 200-300€+
But 32GB kit is expensive, 350€+...

now imagine 4700MHZ kit, 1000€?
EDIT: or not, 16GB 4600MHZ kit is "just 520€"

I am glad that I bought 8x3GB DDR3 2400 for 115$ back in 2016

Isn't it time we moved onto DDR5?

Personally I got the 6700k/ddr4 3000C14 32GB --> 8700L/ddr4 4266 C19 16GB "upgrade" basically for nothing thanks to the crazy prices after selling almost all my ram kits(had about 128GB total of ram kits).
Still got left two kit's of (2x8)16GB_TridentZ, a black/white 3200C15 & 3000C14 red/silver. Both B-die.
I was gonna sell my current 4266C19 16GB kit and keep the black/white 3200C15 for my pending black/white theme build but I spoiled my self a bit with the semi-tight 4K+ ram speeds tbh.
Point is, if I manage to benefit and make a good profit just from those, we can only imagine what's theirs.
I was reading a few months ago that in 2018 prices might start coming down but it seems that's no longer the case.
