I think if I was to wait for the 3000 series it would probably make sense to stick with my 4670k just now rather than buy an AMD interem...

My fear is that the 'mid-2019' release for the 3000 series becomes 'late 2019' then 'TBA'. Hopefully they manage this node shift better than Intel to 10nm...

First 7nm chips are already released, though they are GPUs; Radeon VII, Radeon Instinct Mi50 and MI60. CPU is sampling right now which means release is just a couple months away - I expect a June release, which would still beat Intel by over half a year minimum.

I can definitely wait until June.

I'm sure the RTX 2060 paired with my 4670K will give me a good enough experience in the meantime, so I'm not really losing out on much. 5 months ain't long to wait to un-clutter my media centre. It looks a bit comical at the moment as I have an almost bezel-less beautiful OLED TV with my gargantuan PC sat directly behind it (you see the profile when you enter the room) - the pinnacle of exquisite, sleek consumer electronic design combined with a huge chunky monolith... a bit like wearing a Hugo Boss suit with a pair of wellies :)
