Not so sure about the octacore just yet. For now, only the i3 and i5 have been officially announced, with most of them only being a 100Mhz base clock speedbump (i5 9500 doesn't even have that) and 100-200mhz turboclock boost.

This year is mainly a speedbump it seems, both at AMD and Intel. At least the speedbumps in the Ryzen 2000 line were a bit more substantial and the improved turbo now keeps the boost speed much better than before.

Most of AMD's gains seem to have come from improved latency in Zen+.
Zen2 should be interesting, that's for sure.

That, and the much improved Precision boost 2

I expect Zen 2 to beat Intel's offerings in IPC (though only slightly and not in every scenario), but not in clock speed, reversing the situation during Bulldozer and bringing back memories of the good old Athlon vs Pentium 4
