The refresh of the first-generation Ryzen is currently expected in the first quarter next year. Although new CPUs will certainly be compatible with 300-series motherboards, AMD is giving a chance to their partners to refresh their motherboard offering with X470, B450, A420 series.
The Zen+/Ryzen 2000, also known as Pinnacle Ridge, is a 12nm upgrade of Zen1. We expect higher clock speeds and better power efficiency...
Still seems like Ryzen 2000 by March/April.
Looks like I may have to upgrade in a few months then. I am mainly hoping for improved IPC and a minor MHZ bump. If I can get it to run at 4.2GHZ easily with IPC improvements I will certainly consider an upgrade. I may continue using 6C/12T but if the 8C/16T are cheap enough I will consider moving to that.
