Anyway, there's more leaked info about AMD's upcoming CPUs and also their CPU roadmap (click on the images for bigger ones):

Apparently, AMD is not adding Ryzen 7 2800X to the lineup at this time and all the leaks we have been seeing are of the flagship Ryzen 2000 model, the Ryzen 7 2700X. This CPU will retail at 369 USD, a dollar less than Core i7 8700K.

According to the next slide, the 400 series motherboards will support Precision Boost Overdrive, a feature not available for existing Ryzen motherboards. It is meant to increase the clock speed even higher, than XFR2, which is supported by both iterations of Zen chipset.

AMD has put new Ryzen against Intel’s Coffeelake-S flagship, the i7-8700K. AMD claims 2700X will be 7.7% slower on average.

Compared to Summit Ridge R7 1800X the new CPU will offer 5% better framerate

>>That the faster, and more power hungry, 2700X is slower than the 1800X in some games is kind of odd. Also, I'm surprised by the lack of a 2800 line of procs, but maybe they're saving it for Threadripper and to simplify the naming scheme, something that goes in line with the following article.

AMD has recently held a special event for retailers and distributors. A new roadmap has been shown there, revealing the codenames of upcoming Zen2 and Zen3 processors.

It appears that 2nd Generation Ryzen Threadripper (Zen+) will be succeeded next year by Castle Peak architecture, based on Zen2. In 2020 AMD is set to unveil refined Zen2 architecture, which is currently known at Zen3 (not to be mistaken Zen2+). A cryptic codenamed of NG HEDT (Next-Gen High-End DeskTop) is currently listed for Threadripper 3rd Gen.

When it comes to ‘mainstream’ Ryzen, AMD is likely to adopt a new naming schema, with each generation named after a known painter.

That said, Ryzen 2000, codenamed Pinnacle Ridge, will be succeeded by Matisse next year (based on Zen2) and replaced by Vermeer (based on Zen3) in 2020.
Raven Ridge APUs are to be succeeded by Picasso and Renoir, based on Zen2 and Zen3 respectively.

 

 

And as a bonus:

AMD Ryzen 3000: Globalfoundries expects 5.0 GHz for the 7nm process
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-ryzen-3000-globalfoundries-expects-5-ghz-in-the-7nm-process.html
Globalfoundries Chief Technical Officer, Gary Patton, recently talked about the upcoming 7nm manufacturing generation. The advantages compared to 14nm have grown significantly. The die sizes could be more than halved, clock rates in a range of 5.0 GHz are realistic.
