Ice Lake is due about early 2020, not a couple of years, and we should have DDR5 at the same time.

8700k @ 5ghz swap to 2700x?

Yes your correct, it is due in early 2020. Thing is though, it's not an a completely new architecture..................it's just another TIC. Intel now have to completely re-think the architecture of there cpu's. If as peeps are always saying on here, the most important sector of Intel's market is server and enterprise...........................just another TIC just is not good enough. Company's spending £M's on cpu's, cooling, electricity costs and of course security issues simply will simply walk away. They already are in droves.

I have both and the [email protected] is noticeably faster in most things, especially gaming. You would be mad to swap unless you have some specific use case.
He doesn't game though,, So Im guessing the 2700x will be in faster in most cases, but not enough to justify the change over

Not worth it. Just wait for zen 2 and make a decision then.
Will believe it when I see it.
H1 is all about server processors and Vega Instinct.
Personally not expecting Ryzen 3 until H2.
1 year cadence - Ryzen 1 was released on 2 March 2017, Ryzen 2 was released on 19 April 2018, there is no reason to believe there will be a delay with the Ryzen 3 launch.
I do hope the chips are in their final prelaunch phases and now can be released anytime.

hey all, yeah it's not for gaming, just multiple desktop applications/software. I was looking at the Threadripper, but it's out of my budget, seems like there isn't much of a benefit. 9900k is a disappointment.
any ideas if zen2 will be 10cores?

Until I actually see a lineup from AMD themselves everything at the moment is just rumour or speculation. Also releasing a 12 core cpu on a mainstream platform would mess up the Threadripper lineup. Not saying it won't happen but until I see actual fact then I will take everything with a pinch of salt.

Can't imagine what intels response would be to a mainstream 12core. Get the chiller ready boys

You'd think someone would have found a way to fit the motherboard in with the chiller, bring back the beige box
It would make sense from a security view and maybe if you could leverage 16 threads/need a big pool of cache.

That would really screw up Threadripper lineup though.
Explain.

Threadripper already has the 12 core 2920X and 16 core 2950X in the lineup. If AMD released that many cores on AM4 (Assuming they are cheaper than TR4) then why would anyone buy Threadripper ? The AM4 boards are cheaper so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense imo.
